Symposium Success!

The symposium has finally passed and it turned out to be a great success! We had over 400 high school students attend and learn about what we as LSU Athletic Training Students do while being students in the Athletic Training Curriculum.  Some of the high students favorite stations were taping, weather conditions, and spine boarding. These students left with adequate knowledge about the LSU Athletic Training Program and overall information about what athletic trainers do as certified athletic trainers in the profession.  The whole day was run by the LSU Athletic Training Students.  There were about 10 stations that actively involved the high school students in demonstrations and lectures.  We hope that the high school students who attended enjoyed themselves as much as we did and that they had a positive learning experience.  Congratulations to the students on another successful symposium. Let's start brainstorming ideas for next year! We hope to have an even bigger turn out in 2016!
