Note From the Vice President

Hi, everyone,

I hope March has been going well. APTA Core Ambassador applications for all states on the spring APTA Core Ambassador cycle are open now through April 2. This is a great opportunity for students looking to get more involved with APTA. APTA Core Ambassadors are students links between APTA national and their state chapters. Position duties include providing information to students about what is happening in the APTA, helping students find their passions in physical therapy, and connecting with other CAs at monthly meetings. If you know a student interested in applying, feel free to connect them with me. Applications are available on APTA Engage.

If you are an APTA Core Ambassador who would like to be featured in the monthly updates, reach out to me! I would like to highlight all of the awesome ways CAs engage with APTA member students. Thank you for your continued commitment to serving the APTA Student Assembly. As always, feel free to reach out to me with questions or for support in your role.
