SEACSM is
all about Student networking! Getting involved with the Southeastern chapter of
ACSM is a great opportunity for students to speak directly to graduate students
and faculty to learn about potential educational or employment opportunities. Both
the National and regional Southeastern meetings give students an opportunity to
learn about a variety of research applications through personal interaction,
and to present their research in a professional setting. Not to mention- its
fun!<p>
Want to get involved?
Contact
me, Lindsey Miller, your student representative for the SEACSM. I am currently
seeking student representatives from Universities across the Southeastern
region to join our Student Coalition. The purpose of the Student Coalition is
to provide a platform for students to communicate and provide information about
meetings, potential funding opportunities, and even ride and room sharing for
conferences. Whether you are seeking information about a prospective graduate
program or just enjoy meeting others with similar interests, networking with
other students is a learning experience you can not find anywhere else! Also,
make sure to check out SEACSM on Facebook to have direct access to all of our
current information! <p>
Next
years annual meeting will be located at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in
Jacksonville, FL. This is a fantastic riverfront location with plenty to do and
see within walking distance. Aside from all of the great presentations and
exhibits, there are plenty of activities for students such as Student Quiz
Bowl- the exciting Jeopardy style inter-University competition, Graduate
Student Fair, Student research award poster competition, and last but certainly
not least the famous SEACSM social. The 2011 meeting had great participation
and we expect the same for this coming year- make sure to register early!
