Participating in the ACSM Annual Meeting Student Buddy Program is a great way to navigate a large conference and expand your network.

Pairings will be made based on availability until the start of the conference. Participants are expected to be current students and/or recent graduates. Participants will be provided with buddy info by May 19.
