UH - Department of Health and Human Performance

On February 26th, Dr. Melissa Markofski and Dr. Heather Caslin traveled with 3 graduate students and 8 undergraduate students to Waco, TX to attend the Texas American College of Sports Medicine meeting. With 5 research poster presentations and 2 student bowl teams, our students represented UH well! Students and faculty also had the opportunity to hear from academic and industry leaders in the field about emerging research findings, career pathways, and all things sports medicine.

Congrats to UH student bowl participants Matthew Nguyen, Amy Pham, Maya Williams, Isabel Issakhan, Uniasha Ocon, and Olivia Broaddus, and great work to our poster presenters Arman Rasti, Kingsley Oforka, Matthew Nguyen, Olivia Broaddus, and Miah Barras.

It was a great experience and we look forward to attending next year.
