The New England Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine (NEACSM) aims to engage student members by offering professional development opportunities within chapter activities. Therefore, we seek to provide rich mentoring conversations and professional development opportunities at Meet the Expert luncheons during the 2019 fall meeting. These events are designed to foster communication between undergraduate/graduate student members, high profile professional members, and our invited speakers. Additionally, students will be able to explore graduate school opportunities as well as network and learn about leadership opportunities within NEACSM and ACSM.
Objectives:
• Increase student understanding of NEACSM and the array of volunteer opportunities
• Facilitate interaction, communication, and scholarly exchange between students and industry leaders
• Provide students with opportunities to develop networking skills
• Offer students opportunities to receive professional and scientific guidance from industry leaders
The Meet the Expert luncheon will be structured around a one-hour roundtable session offered each day during the 2019 fall conference. Each professional member will be paired with 4-5 students at their table who share similar interests. Guided questions will be provided at each table to start the conversation, but an overall informal conversation will follow. This is your chance to get all your questions answered!
