CCER Moves to University of Washington!
As of July 16, 2008, CCER staff and programs became part of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington! This includes the General RCEP, the CRP RCEP, the Leadership Institute, and DBTAC Northwest - and our proposed new projects like the NW Technical Assistance and Continuing Education (TACE) Center and a research project on Vocational Rehabilitation Service Models for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
We are very excited about the move, and feel there will be terrific opportunities to integrate our efforts with what's already happening at UW - things like research in Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Burns, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Pain Management, and Rehabilitation Outcomes. Other UW partners will include the Center for Technology and Disability Studies, the Ph.D. program in Rehabilitation Science, and the Employment Training Program which provides job placement and support to people with disabilities.
In return, our new UW colleagues are enthusiastic about our regional connections and our technical assistance and training expertise. This new affiliation will also allow us to develop new projects and approaches in support of our core mission. We will miss Dr. Beth Boland (Swett) and Alexa Burns, who will remain with the Master's Program in Rehabilitation Counseling at WWU and who have moved into new offices in Everett. Both will remain valued colleagues and partners.
The rest of us will remain in our current office space in Mountlake Terrace so our address and phone numbers will stay the same. A move without packing and unpacking - what could be better than that?
