Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

From John Shank at Temple:

Temple University's Department of Therapeutic Recreation is searching for a tenure-track Assistant/Associate professor who can contribute to the department's undergraduate and graduate curricula, and complement the department's research focus on active living for persons with illnesses and disabilities across the life span.

We are one of 8 departments in the College of Health Professions. We have 8 full-time faculty and 6 part-time adjunct faculty. There are approximately 140 bachelor (BS) and 15 master's students. Our PhD in Health Studies is being restructured into an interdisciplinary PhD in Health and Human Ecology Studies with admissions expected to resume for Fall 2009.

The tenure-track position announcment is attached. Please excuse any cross-listings. The start of application reviews has been moved to November 10, 2008.

The department also anticipates an additional Clinical Faculty position for Fall 2009which has primary responsibilities for teaching/clinical instruction. It is expected to be offically announced next month.

Together, these positions will help the department further strengthen research, teaching, and service-learning in recreation therapy especially in the areas of gerontological, adult, and/or pediatric health promotion and rehabilitation.

I will be attending the ATRA conference in Reno and would be pleased to discuss these positions, the department and Temple University with you or anyone who may be interested.Inquiries can also be made by phone or electronically.

Dr. Yoshi Iwasaki, search chair, will be at the NRPA Congress and would be happy to meet with anyone interested in learning more about the position described in the attached annoucment.

I hope to see many of you at ATRA - Reno.
