Senior Level Students

 

Andrew Bliz - "I chose athletic training because I have always loved sports, doesn't matter what sport, and have always wanted to do something in the medical field. So I put two and two together and decided what would be a better fit for me than athletict raining, and here I am today."

 

Melissa Camhi - "I chose athletic training at WMU because I wanted an undergraduate experience in a health related field where I could work with people on a regular basis rather than taking biomedical science lab classes. I wanted a smaller program that would allow me to get to know my professors and for them to know me."

 

Susan Cook - "I picked the athletic training program at WMU because I loved the campus and the facilities."

 

Ashlee Hacker - "I chose the program at WMU because I asked the athletic trainers around my hometown where was the best program."

 

Stephanie Hollander- "I always knew that I wanted to be in a health and medical-related field. I looked through the undergraduate catalog and stumbled upon athletic training. I knew what an athletic trainer was from my experience in high school sports and it definitely interested me. Being involved in a physically active population was also very important to me because they have the motivation to get healthy. Athletic training fulfilled all of the criteria that I was looking for in the medical field."

 

Danielle Kaye - "I picked the WMU athletic training program because I love working with people and sports. I thought I'd try athletic training and I ended up loving it. I have learned so much in my four years here. I cannot wait to take what I have learned from WMU and apply it to the real world."
