PT Club
The Physical Therapy Club was formed to meet the needs of students in the field of physical therapy through identification, coordinated action, communication and fellowship, and to contribute in an organized manner to the improvement and development of education in the field of physical therapy.
Club membership is currently open to undergraduate students who plan to pursue physical therapy, and students enrolled in the PT and PTA programs. Club activities include guest speakers, social events, fundraisers, and community awareness projects. The faculty advisor to the PT Club is Professor Barbara Hahn.
PT Club News
April 2008
The PT Club had a great semester this spring!
They provided over $3,800 to students who attended the American
Physical Therapy Association's Combined Section Meeting in
Nashville, Tennessee. The funding was in part made
possible through the highly successful Turoni's frozen pizza
fundraiser which was held in January. The event raised
over $1,500. The PT Club raised nearly
$500 for the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center with the
ever-popular Massage-A-Thon.
Members had many opportunities to be involved
in community events such as the Tri-State MS Society's "All
About Me" Weekend, UE Gives Back, and trips to the Holiday
Village Retirement Center.
The PT Club has featured speakers at club meetings to further
inform and educate members about the profession and strategies
they can utilize to make the most out of the remainder of their
educational career, as well as their professional career.
The PT Club's major goal for
April 2009 is to raise over $3,000 for the Marquette
Challenge through various fundraisers and to be recognized as
"Honorable Mentions" for the university.
