Margaret Hood was the first occupational therapy instructor at UBC in 1961 and served as head, division of occupational therapy, until her retirement in 1979. She advocated for lifelong learning to advance the profession.
Were you part of the program between 1961-1979?
You may have been taught by Margaret or heard of her legacy, and we invite you to consider a small donation to the UBC Rehabilitation Sciences Alumni Margaret Hood Scholarship.
In honour of Margaret Hood’s tremendous contributions to the development of the Rehabilitation Sciences and Occupational Therapy programs at UBC, alumni initiated this scholarship for a meritorious occupational therapy student enrolled in the Rehabilitation Sciences graduate program leading to an MSc or PhD degree.
Your gift to this scholarship encourages exceptional students with both financial support and recognition of their academic and professional achievements.
