Experience Academic Excellence

My goal since Day One was to be one of the students selected for the Athletic Training Education Program’s internship with the New York Giants football team. Each day that I had with the team’s medical staff, I tried my best to ask as many questions as possible, so that one day, I can get myself to the position they are in. This internship was such an amazing experience, and it is an incredible opportunity that the University grants to students.
