AOTA Student Membership Circle
Active student memberships reinforce the need and value of tomorrow's occupational therapy profession. In addition to engaging with student members in individual ways, AOTA recognizes the academic institutions with the highest numbers of active AOTA student memberships through the Student Membership Circle program. Academic institutions are recognized at the gold, silver, and bronze levels.
Join the AOTA Student Membership Circle
The future of the occupational therapy profession lies in the hands of the students sitting in your classrooms today. It is important that students understand the value and importance of being an AOTA member as they prepare for their careers and AOTA works to ensure their professional success.
AOTA’s Student Membership Circle is a 3-tier plan that supports academic program student membership initiatives—Gold Level, Silver Level, and Bronze Level. Student Membership Circle recipients are determined based on the number of enrolled students that are also current active members of AOTA.*
