SEATA presenters
To kick off the month of February, sixteen of our students traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the 29th Southeastern Athletic Training Association Student Symposium. Students were able to meet certified athletic trainers, fellow students, and leaders in the athletic training field from District Nine. Educational tracks geared towards students of different levels offered in depth information on topics including concussion, core stability, orthotics, job skills, and board of certification review for seniors.

Will Payne, Ben Morale, Meaghan Hussey, and Derek Carter represented LSU in the quiz bowl competition. 4 of our students were selected from a competitive group of their peers to present clinical case studies. Derek Carter and Jazmine Wilson gave oral presentations while Taylor Wright and Samantha Guidry displayed posters. The greatest accolade of the weekend was Dr. Ray Castle’s induction into the SEATA Hall of Fame. Dr. Castle has served as the  co-chair of the Southeastern Athletic Trainers' Association Annual Athletic Training Student Clinical Symposium since 2002. Congratulations to all of our presenters and especially Dr. Castle!
