Athletic Therapy Student Association
Our mission:
We know this academic year will be trying, as there are many unknowns and situations are ever changing. As a council, we aim to assist our students in navigating these new experiences by providing resources and opportunities for academic and professional growth on multiple platforms. Our goal is to tackle this year as a team, through constant communication and feedback, in order to ensure that all of our students feel confident and fully prepared to enter their careers or continue on with their education. We are constantly relying on the philosophy that we are better together which fosters an environment where open communication is normalized. Even though we are physically distant, we should never be apart.
Meet your council

Social and Fundraising Coordinators: Karine Boucher |
Hi everyone! My name is Karine Boucher and I will be the ATSA’s social and fundraising coordinator for the 2023/2024 school year. After completing 2 years of kinésiologie at Laurentian University in Sudbury, I transferred to the AT program here last year. I was captain of the KinGames team last year and will be again this year after being on Laurentian’s team for two years, so I have lots of fundraising experience under my belt! I believe my passion and team spirit will help me bring fun new fundraising ideas while encouraging team building. I currently work at Recharge Sports Therapy in the clinic and as a first responder with the Arborg Ice Dawgs and I absolutely love it! After I graduate, I plan on working abroad in this field. I’m excited to share my love for this school and bring everyone together, hopefully without masks to see everyone’s beautiful smiles ;) Feel free to reach out to me with fundraising ideas because the more the merrier! I hope everyone has a great year! Goal for ATSA: Improve student ATs’ experience by organizing fun events that will bring us all together |
