We are sad to see the Thompsons leave our athletic training
family, but so happy for this new journey in their life. Melissa Thompson has been the Assistant
Professor of Professional Practice and Advisor of Alpha Tau Sigma since 2004. Keith Thompson was our Track and Field/ Cross
Country staff athletic trainer and drug test administrator for 12 years total. Keith and Melissa have been such a blessing
to our program and have never hesitated to go above and beyond to help our
students and program. Both have taught
many of the students’ classes and have always had a passion for enhancing the
knowledge of our athletic training students.
They will now be moving to West Virginia where Keith has taken a position
with Mylan Pharmaceuticals in Morgantown.
Keith has already begun working and is working with their Quality
Assurance Division. Melissa will be working on her most important
job as Mom and says she will “Wait on God to open the door He wants to
open”. After speaking with Melissa she
says they both “Enjoyed their time here at LSU, working with the students and
staff. Everyone will be missed, but we
are excited for what’s in store”. Congrats
on this new opportunity Thompsons and we wish you luck on this new stage in
life! You will be missed.
