It is with great pleasure that we announce that the Divisional Committee voted unanimously in favor of recommending that Dr. Kristen Pickett be promoted to Associate Professor with tenure!
Dr. Pickett is a faculty member in the Occupational Therapy program. She is the primary investigator of the Sensory Motor Integration Lab (SMIL) where her research focuses on improving the everyday lives of older adults through the implementation of physical activity interventions—delivered in-home via telehealth and through group classes held at community-based facilities. Her lab works with community partners to conduct research for individuals with Parkinson disease (PD), as well as rural-dwelling and other under-served older adults, who lack access to facilities for physical activity.
Join us in congratulating Dr. Pickett on this huge honor!
