Ken Seaman, academic coordinator of clinical education in the Department of Physical Therapy recently received three honors recognizing his volunteer service. 
In February, Seaman was one of five Delawareans to receive the 2002 Jefferson Award.  Each spring, The News Journal and the American Institute for Public Service recognize Delawareans who are worthy of this award and host a luncheon in their honor.  At the special luncheon and award ceremony in their honor, on April 17, 2002 at the du Pont Country Club, Mr. Seaman was presented with a beautiful bronze medal commemorating his exemplary service to the community.

Mr. Seaman also received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Delaware for his service. One of Mr. Seaman’s contributions to the MS Society of Delaware is the MS Assessment Clinic which he started and directs within the Department of Physical Therapy, at the University of Delaware.  Mr. Seaman, started the MS Assessment Clinic two years ago and continues to direct it.  The goals of this clinic are to train physical therapy students and to provide a community service to those with MS.  The MS Clinic started with only one discipline, physical therapy, but now eight different disciplines are involved in the clinic.  Mr. Seaman also supervises physical therapy student volunteers in the clinic.
