Note from the current President

I want to welcome anyone with an interest in the field of athletic training to join our club and attend our meetings. We have guest speakers to present on intriguing sports medicine topics and food is provided, courtesy of the club. Please note that you do not have to be an athletic training major to join the club or attend the meetings, we welcome all students. You will find a great group of people with which to socialize and network at the meetings. It is a perfect opportunity to establish contacts with current club members as well as the staff and faculty in the athletic training option. Our first meeting is not scheduled yet, however please watch for signs posted around the PE buildings regarding when we will meet to kick off the new semester. Thank you for your interest and if you have any further questions concerning the Sports Medicine Club, please feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer your questions in as timely a manner as possible.

Sincerely,
Jenny Loewe
