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.

Productive Scholars Remain So throughout Their Careers

I just read an article in the October issue of American Psychologist titled “The Graying of Academia: Will it Reduce Scientific Productivity?” The answer is a resounding NO!

Productive researchers stay productive until they decide to stop their work. If we can apply these findings to RT, with the aging population of RT scholars, it is good to learn that those who have been productive are expected to remain productive even late in their careers.
