Tori's academic excellence combined with her research topic of perceived patient gratitude and burnout in athletic trainers made her a perfect choice for this honor. We're proud of you!

[USM Athletic Training Program @USMATProgram]

Our very own Tori Dronet was inducted into the USM Graduate Student Hall of Fame today! Each year, 12 graduate students from across the University are selected by their deans based on exceptional academic achievement and meaningful contributions to their fields.

On Tuesday, Mayor @toby_barker proclaimed National Athletic Training Month in Hattiesburg! @USMATProgram students and faculty attended the proclamation along with several other Hattiesburg ATs. Thank you for your continued support of ATs! #SMTTT #NATM26 #CareYouCanCountOn

[USM Athletic Training Program @USMATProgram]

From day one of the @USMATProgram, faculty encourage students to find a mentor. Mentors lift us up, make us better than we ever thought we could be, and help us learn how to provide "Care you can count on". Who's your mentor? Tag them here and tell them how much they mean to you!

[USM Athletic Training Program @USMATProgram]

Theme: Care You Can Count On
At Southern Miss, that care shows up every day—on the sidelines, in the clinic, and behind the scenes.

All month:
