NATA Meeting Wraps Up a Great Week in St. Louis

Saint Louis University's Athletic Training faculty, staff and students had a great week as St. Louis hosted the National Athletic Trainers' Association Annual Meeting and Symposium from June 26-29, 2012.  In addition to enjoying a week of professional development and fellowship they served as speakers, learning lab instructors, moderators and volunteers for the events.  Some of the students also worked at the trade show where exhibitors needed extra help at their booths.  Highlights of the week included faculty member Kitty Newsham Phd, ATC receiving an Athletic Training Service Award and SLU Athletic Training Student Bridget Quirk receiving a NATA Foundation Scholarship.  The SLU AT Program worked with the Doisy College Alumni Association to host a well attended Alumni Reception at The Dubliner.
