Special opportunities for students
Leadership and Diversity Training Program
The purpose of the SEACSM Leadership and Diversity Training Program (LDTP) is to encourage student members from minority groups underrepresented in the sciences to participate in activities that will lead to successful mentored experiences at the Annual Meeting, enhanced pathways to degree completion and career opportunities, and increased SEACSM and ACSM service. The LDTP awards are for up to $599 each to attend the 2023 SEACSM Annual Meeting. Students may participate in the program for one year.
LDTP recipients will be matched with a professional SEACSM member who will assist the student with setting goals, preparing for attending the Annual Meeting, providing active mentorship at the meeting to connect the student with potential academic, research, and service opportunities, and guide the student through next steps to achieve their educational/professional goals after the meeting.
Learn more about the LDTP program, eligibility, and how to apply at the SEACSM LDTP website. The application is available now and the deadline to submit applications is December 16, 2022 by 5:00 pm ET.
Student AV Teams
Attention students: consider applying to be an AV team at the 2023 SEACSM Annual Meeting in Greenville. AV teams are an excellent service opportunity and a great way to make the conference more affordable!
Student AV teams are responsible for providing audiovisual support for presenters during keynote, tutorial, symposium, and oral free communication sessions. Teams include 2–4 students and a faculty sponsor who will be attending the meeting. Each team must bring a laptop computer, projector, supporting peripherals (cords, adapters, etc.), and a laser pointer.
SEACSM will provide one hotel room for the two nights of the conference for each AV team. Only one AV team will be permitted per institution. AV Teams must arrive at the conference by noon on Thursday and stay through the lunch on Saturday.
More information and a link to the AV Team application is available on the SEACSM Annual Meeting website. A faculty sponsor can complete the application now. You do not need to know the names of the student AV team members at this time.
Student Bowl
The Undergraduate Student Bowl is back for the 2023 SEACSM Annual Meeting! We are looking forward to coming together for this fun Jeopardy-style team competition testing undergraduates’ exercise science knowledge. To register a team for your school, faculty sponsors should fill out the application form which is available on the SEACSM Annual Meeting website now. You do not need to know the names of the student bowl team members at this time.
