Class of 2015 Launches the Legacy Project: Scholars for the Advancement of Occupational Science (SAOS) Page 5 OTDNews, Volume V, Issue 1 The Class of 2015 went above and beyond expectations with the support of Dr. Carrasco and Dr. Whaley, to ensure they are never forgotten here at the Nova Southeastern University Tampa. The Occupational Science and Wellness classes came together and collaborated on a project—something indeed that leaves a legacy. They created a professional organization — Scholars for the Advancement of Occupational Science , or SAOS — that aims to inspire, promote, and contribute to the study of occupa- tional science within the global community. In addition, they also launched a brand new scholarly journal, which is considered to be essential to achieve the organization’s mission — Journal for the Ad- vancement of Occupational Science or JAOS. The journal will serve as a platform for contributors from around the world — including current students, recent graduates, oc- cupational therapy practitioners, and professionals from a variety of disciplines — who wish to disseminate research and promote discourse within the fields of occupational science and occupational therapy.
