Brooke Maguire, a Radiography student at Delta College, has been selected to participate in the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) 2019 Student Leadership Development Program.

Maguire, from Essexville, will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2019 ASRT Educational Symposium and Annual Meeting, June 20-23, in Orlando, Florida. In addition, Maguire will attend educational courses specifically designed for students, attend the House of Delegates meetings and be assigned a professional mentor. Maguire was one of nearly 100 radiologic science students from around the country chosen to participate in the program.

“I was so pleased to see Brooke receive this recognition and have this national leadership opportunity,” said Cindy Kramer, Radiography Program Coordinator and Associate Professor. “State and national organization involvement shows a dedication to radiography as a profession and not just a job.”

Delta College has one of the top radiography programs in the area. Last year, 100 percent of graduates passed the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination and 100 percent found jobs in their field.

The ASRT represents more than 155,000 members who perform medical imaging procedures or plan and deliver radiation therapy treatments. The Society also provides radiologic technology students with the tools, services and support they need to prepare for careers in medical imaging and radiation therapy.
