ELLIE WEFEL ’26
Why I want to be an athletic trainer: I had a very good relationship with my high school athletic training and that really inspired me to follow in her footsteps and become an AT as well. She really knew how to listen to all her athletes and was able to support us all on and off the field. Why I chose UW-Stevens Point: I chose UWSP because I had made great connections with my professors from the first day on campus. I was in Intro to Athletic Training and Danelle Smith was my professor. I walked out of her class the first week of classes so confident that I wanted to eventually be in the athletic training program one day. As I continued in my undergraduate program, I met the rest of the athletic training program professors and all of them were amazing and so helpful. They are the main reason I chose UWSP for my master’s degree. What setting would you like to work in? Professional football. Fun fact: I am planning my wedding for June 2025!
