This paper, written with <strong>Katie Olsen \u201914<\/strong> and <strong>Matthew Jensen \u201916<\/strong> is the result of an ongoing research project performed jointly between MacKay and Elizabethtown undergraduates. The work presents an environmentally friendly or &#8220;green&#8221; method for functionalizing molecules called pyrazoles. Previous approaches led to the formation of harmful byproducts or required dangerous solvents. The reported method bears the potential to be used in pharmaceutical applications and\/or the synthesis of new materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Occupational therapy<\/strong> faculty members and recent graduates gave various presentations at the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association annual conference in State College, Pennsylvania in October.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cExploring Clinical Reasoning for Trauma and Sensory Processing Disorders\u201d with Christine Achenbach, MEd, OTR\/L; Adriana Bertolino, MS OT \u201917;\u00a0 Shannon Deck, MS OT \u201917; and Kathleen Wilkinson, MS OT \u201917<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOccupation-Based Coaching for Truck Drivers: Pilot\u201d with Emily Good, MS OT \u201917; Jaime Deisher, MS OT \u201917; and Rachel Sassaman, MS OT \u201917.

The more-than-150-piece exhibit is a retrospective about the Pennsylvania State Capitol artist Violet Oakley (1874-1961), the first woman to receive a commission for a government building. Ricci reconstructed the career of Oakley, a prolific muralist, stained glass designer and portraitist and wrote the illustrated exhibition catalog. She also presented &#8220;The Woman Artist in a Man-Made World&#8221; at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on Sept. 13 and &#8220;The Visions of Violet Oakley: Spiritual, Political and Aesthetic&#8221; at the Woodmere Art Museum on October 7.
