WELCOME!

VOLUME 8, ISSUE 1

Dear Athletic Training Community,

YOU are the reason for the continued success

of the AT program! Aside from many peoples’

daily gifts of time and expertise, Keenan Robin-

son, class of 2002 has generously donated

seed money to help students defray the costs

of attending conferences and other profession-

al events while they are in school. Students

and the profession will truly benefit from

these opportunities.

If you are inspired to contribute to this schol-

arship fund, please contact Jim Mahoney in

the Adrian College Development office at

jmahoney@adrian.edu to donate.

I hope you enjoy last year’s program highlights,

and here’s to another fantastic year in 2018!

Cheers!

Tina Claiborne
