CPHHS Club Spotlight

The PTAH Club

The PTAH Club is a student-led organization that aims to support undergraduate students pursuing careers in the rehabilitation sciences. We strive to provide students with volunteer and job opportunities and to supply students with insight about their prospective fields. Through events like the Wheel-A-Thon fundraiser, this club also aims to raise awareness for individuals with disabilities while supporting the local programs that assist this population.

This club usually meets on Wednesday nights at 6pm in Milam 123. They have been meeting during even academic weeks (week 2, 4, 6, etc.); however, they will meet every week for the rest of Spring term to prepare for their annual fundraiser, the Wheel-A-Thon. For more information, contact: Mason Crow.
