KSC junior Gwenn Lanouette will take a big step towards her career goal of working with the Boston Bruins when she logs some real-world experience as a non-certified athletic trainer for South Lake Hospital at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Florida this summer. As a member of the Athletic Training Education Program, Lanouette heard about the internship opportunity from Dr. Wanda Swiger.

“To be eligible for this internship you had to be entering at least your fourth undergrad year; you must have completed all evaluation courses, therapeutic modalities, and therapeutic exercise classes; and you must also have a minimum GPA of 3.0,” Lanouette explained. “While participating in this internship, I will get to work with athletes of all different age ranges, ethnicity, types of sport, and skill levels (ranging from amateurs to professionals).” Pretty impressive!
