Compton Now at IU
Dave Compton is now on the job as Chair of the Department of Recreation, Parks & Tourism at Indiana University. I had lunch with Dave today and learned that he has already begun to make strides at IU.
One thing he told me was that, despite the economic situation, IU continues to recruit a new RT/TR faculty member. Anyone coming to IU will be blessed to work with the current RT/TR faculty as Bryan and Marieke are the best.
I think Dave will be good for RT/TR at IU. His ties to public health and health promotion give him a perspective that should be supportive of RT/TR.

Just a quick note to support your initiative to change the name of the professional field from Therapeutic Recreation to Recreation Therapy. This is a "no-brainer" and is about 25 years overdue. The profession should understand your point that "recreation therapy" is much more reflective of what the profession is, or should be about. Also, RT helps to define boundaries and is an occupational title that others can understand and feel comfortable with
