Olympian and OS&OT grad,
Heather Moyse, awarded
Randy Starkman Olympian
Humanitarian Award
Heather Moyse, Olympian and OS&OT graduate, is the first recipient
of the Randy Starkman Olympian Humanitarian Award. As related
by her, Heather’s inspiration owes much to her experiences while
she was a student of Occupational Therapy. It’s clear from reading
the story in the Toronto Star, that Heather has set a gold standard in
more than bobsledding. Everyone in the Department of Occupa-
tional Science and Occupational Therapy extends their heartfelt con-
gratulations to Heather.
