Sign up for the District 2 Student Corner

The District 2 Student Corner is used by the District 2 student representative to the NATA Student Leadership Committee to spread knowledge of current events within the athletic training community and future events hosted by District 2. These emails will be filled only with information the representative feels all students should know and would be completely separate from the D2-Wire, which is intended for everyone in the district.
