TXSRT and ASRT Student to Leadership Development Program
Sydney Cooper – TxSLDP
Joining the Student Leadership Program has been one of the most inspiring and fulfilling activities I have undertaken.
In this program, I have advocated for our profession, learned to network and make connections with members nationwide,
and most importantly, developed my passion for the medical imaging and therapy profession. These opportunities are
endless to contribute and grow. My personal experience has allowed me to collaborate on research with a Connecticut delegate,
sit in on meetings with the House of Delegates, and much more. I cannot wait to see what the next adventure has in store
for me and for our profession.
Ryan Davis – OKSLDP
Participating in the Student to Leadership Development Program has been a transformative journey for me. Over the course of the program, I have gained insights into leadership practices, honed my communication skills, and have learned how to navigate challenges with resilience and creativity. This would not have been possible without our peers or mentors in the program. This program allows us to make connections to grow our professional network, but it also provides diverse perspectives that have help in understanding leadership in different contexts. If you are a student considering this program, do it.
Rachel Lefever – TxSLDP
Participating in the Student to Leadership Development Program has shown me that there is more than one way to be engaged within the medical imaging profession. Whether it’s volunteering, advocacy, education—or anything in between— I appreciate that we are encouraged to find the areas that interest us and to get involved. I love that this program has opened the door for me to make an immediate impact on the future of my profession.
Kailey Toal – Texas Intern
Hi, everyone! My name is Kailey Toal. I am currently in my first year of participation in the SLDP, and have already been able to gain valuable experience and insight from this program. So far I have assisted with planning the 2024 TXSRT Annual Meeting and Educational Symposium, expanded my professional network, and gained a better understanding of what it takes to effectively run an organization. I am excited to see where this program takes me over the next few years and highly encourage anyone interested to apply!
Jessica Walla – Texas Intern
The SLDP has provided the opportunity for mentorship, inspiration, and collaboration amongst dedicated radiologic technologists and students from all over Texas. I gained insight into the endeavor of advocating for radiologic technologist licensure and the protection of patients. What I enjoyed most was the participation in planning the TXSRT annual symposium, meeting our team in person, and seeing our efforts put into action. It has been memorable forming bonds and learning from the other SLDP students and the Board of Directors.
