In loving memory of our beloved friend and colleague Dr. Yves Roseus, the Department of Occupational Therapy at York College of the City University of New York, in collaboration with his family, announce the Dr. Yves Roseus Citizen’s Award for Outstanding Service and Advocacy in Occupational Therapy.

As a York College alumnus and Adjunct Assistant Professor, Dr. Roseus inspired and mentored many towards a life dedicated to service and advocacy. In addition to his dedication to the York College OT community, he was Senior Occupational Therapist at Brookdale Hospital. He served on the Roster of Accreditors for ACOTE and as a Board Trustee for NYSOTA and NYSBOTC. Dr. Roseus’s commitment to service and advocacy also helped to develop an occupational therapy program in Haiti.

 

To honor his legacy, we invite you to contribute to the establishment of the Dr. Yves Roseus Citizen’s Award. The award will provide financial support for a York College occupational therapy student who demonstrates outstanding service and advocacy in occupational therapy.
