Student of the Month

Congratulations to our January Student of the Month, Meaghan Hussey!  Meaghan Hussey is currently a second year in our athletic training program and the vice president of Alpha Tau Sigma.  Last year, she worked with Track and Field/ Cross Country and is now working with our Women’s Basketball team.  Since our staff athletic trainer for basketball, Micki Collins, has been on maternity leave, Meaghan has stepped up and has done a great job filling in.  When asked about Meaghan, Micki said, “I was pleased to hear that Meaghan received student of the month honors. Never in my 12 years have I felt a student was so deserving. She was without a doubt the "MVP" of LSU women's basketball this last month. While I was pregnant and then went on maternity leave unexpectantly early, she was phenomenal. She was well beyond her years and was consummate professional. She was the constant for the team while we transitioned to a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer. She provided an invaluable gift to me to be able to go be with my family without worry, which is hard to come by in our profession.” Meaghan has always and is still doing a great job and we are very proud of her.  Congrats again Meaghan!
