SIS Charter Member Jerry Hitzusen, an associate professor at the University of Missouri's College of Agriculture Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR), was recently awarded the Palestra Leadership Award in Therapeutic Recreation, an honor only bestowed every 10 years.
Boots on the Green is a collaborative program with the Veteran's Affairs Office in St Louis that Jerry and colleague, "adaptive golf pro" Dany Baker, developed which uses golf as a therapeutic tool for veterans with all forms of disabilities… Thanks Jerry, for all of your dedication and leadership in these important endeavors.
