Special opportunities for students at the Annual Meeting

We have several opportunities for students at the 2024 Annual Meeting:

The Student Bowl is a Jeopardy-style team competition testing undergraduates’ exercise science knowledge.

Student AV Teams teams provide audiovisual support for presenters during the conference and are a great way to make the conference more affordable.

The Leadership and Diversity Training Program (LDTP) is an opportunity for students from minority groups underrepresented in the sciences to receive mentoring and financial support to attend the meeting.

The Graduate Program Fair is a chance for schools to provide information to potential graduate students about their Masters and/or Doctoral programs.

More information about these opportunities, including instructions to apply, is available on the SEACSM Annual Meeting website.

Deadline for submission of applications for the Student Bowl, AV Teams, LDTP program, and the Graduate Program Fair is November 1 at 5:00 PM ET
