Athletic Training

Two Nebraska Wesleyan students have been selected for the Fulbright Summer Institute to the United Kingdom. Emma Peterson, a sophomore athletic training and Spanish major, will participate in the US-UK Fulbright Summer Institute at the University of Bristol. Hunter Smith, a junior history major, will participate in the US-UK Fulbright Summer Institute at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland.

Jacob LaMarche came to Nebraska Wesleyan with two passions: football and a possible career in healthcare. 

Little did he know how an injury on the field would quickly expose him to a new career path.

LaMarche, a graduate of Ralston High School, easily recalls that fall day in 2016 when he dislocated his left ankle. A sophomore at the time, LaMarche didn’t initially recognize the seriousness of the injury.

“I was in the process of blocking someone when it happened, so I was pretty focused on the play,” he recalled.
