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.

The application for AV Teams is closed. Notifications and instructions will be sent in mid-December.

Exhibitor, Sponsor, and Graduate Program Fair Information

Exhibitor and Sponsor Opportunities

The Southeast ACSM chapter has a variety of opportunities available for companies and organizations to market their products and services to sports medicine and exercise science professionals in the southeast and to gain local, regional, and national exposure for their company.

One of the highlights of the conference is the opportunity for one-on-one interactions with exhibitors participating in the meeting. The opportunity to learn more about the products and services that companies and organizations have to offer sports medicine and exercise science professionals is an important part of the meeting.

The sponsors and exhibitors that participate at the annual meeting are from a wide variety of industries and institutions. These vendors offer products, equipment or services that the conference attendees frequently use in their professions.

Please contact us if you or your company or institution would like to participate as a sponsor or exhibitor, or if you know of a company or institution that you would like to see at the meeting.

Contact Michael Berry (berry@wfu.edu) as soon as possible to learn more about these opportunities. More information is available at the SEACSM Annual Meeting website.

Graduate Program Fair 
We hope to see you at the Graduate Program Fair at the 2023 SEACSM Annual Meeting!

All available spaces have been filled, so this will be an exciting opportunity for students to learn about graduate programs in the region.

Attention faculty: Tips for bringing students to the SEACSM Annual Meeting

One of the best parts of being a faculty mentor is taking students to regional conferences. You get to show them inspiring scientific content and introduce them to peers and colleagues who share their passion for sports medicine and exercise science.

SEACSM Executive Board Member at Large, Bhibha Das, and Student Representative, Katie Spring, wrote an article for the ACSM blog with 11 Tips for Instructors Bringing Students to ACSM Regional Chapter Meetings. Check it out!
Attention students: This would be a great time to join ACSM!

ACSM student membership is available to eligible undergraduate, graduate and medical students for just $10 for the entire first year. ACSM student membership also includes access to resources and opportunities that will help you in and out of the classroom. Learn more about the benefits of membership.
