Happy Summer everyone! You made it through a tough semester and Dr. Pesthy and I are very proud of you!
Every other year the Southeast Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (which includes Texas) hosts a conference primarily for pre-health advisors. It bounces around all over the Southeast. I am thrilled to share with you that this year’s conference is actually being held right in our backyard in San Antonio. The planning team for this conference was very passionate about making sure that students were included in this conference. SO, please see information below about a student-focused (no advisors) health professions fair that we will be hosting at this conference. Note that there is a virtual version of the fair for those of you unable to go to San Antonio. It is free but you need to register. But I am very excited that there is also going to be an in-person fair at the Conference Hotel in San Antonio. It is also free. So if you are in the area and are dying to talk to admissions officers and other healthcare professionals live and in person, please register and join us in San Antonio for a few hours. It is unlikely that students in other parts of the southeast region will travel all the way to San Antonio for this event, so you should have the exhibitors all to yourselves! Go take a selfie at the Alamo and then come by and ask questions, explore schools and programs, etc. You don’t need to dress professionally (no business suits or long-sleeved shirts with ties), but don’t show up in shorts and a t-shirt either. Khakis and a collared shirt or slacks or a skirt with a nice shirt are all fine.
I hope to see TONS OF BOBCATS at this event! I’ll be there as I am on the planning team for this conference.
Take care,
Dr. Banta
