What a great way to spend a Sunday! Yesterday the Ohio University MSAT students and faculty attended the OATA Student Symposium and Quiz Bowl. Students had the opportunity to network with MSAT students and faculty from across the state, learn from a great lineup of presenters, practice dry needling, play athletic training themed charades, and compete in the Quiz Bowl. (Swipe to the end for the best picture of the day.)

Big shoutout to the , especially president and OU MSAT second-year Nicole Powers, for putting on an amazing event!

The future of athletic training in Ohio is bright!
