NEW FEATURES FOR 2011:

Athletic Therapy Student Society - 1st AT Student Society meeting
We are looking for representatives from each accredited institution. Once you learn who from your program might be coming, perhaps a little group meeting among them to decide who could be the official representative. Of course any one who comes can have a say in this society, and we hope that these students will share their ideas and experience with everyone that cannot make it to Montreal.
-Elsa Orecchio, DipSIM, CAT(C); Instructor Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning A graduate of Sheridan, Ms. Orecchio has led many Sheridan graduates towards successful careers. She will get the meeting started, but it is "by and for the student".

Student Case Study/Research Presentation
Was there an interesting case study or research project in the program this year? An "a-ha moment", or a progression to the knowledge base? We would like to hear about it! Hopefully 1-2 presentations from each program in attendance. Nothing stressful, just a ten minute powerpoint presentation, and a question and answer session in a friendly environment. A learning experience for everyone!

Social/Networking - ConU Social Committee
-Work hard, and have fun. I am organizing some ConU students to show a little of the Montreal night life to our welcomed guests.
