Athletic Training

Nebraska Wesleyan is expanding its graduate program offerings with the launch of a Master of Athletic Training (MAT) degree.

Call her the triple crown winner of athletic training.

Kelsey Jaeschke has capped off her senior year as just the second Nebraska Wesleyan University student to sweep state, regional and national honors in her field.

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.
