Nicholls State University

Celest Weuve was destined to be in the medical field. As a young girl, she walked up to her brother and tested his reflexes -- with a hammer. Weuve has had high expectations for herself ever since. And now she passes those expectations on to her students and the athletic training program. [quote]The athletic training science program will continue to strive to be recognized as one of the best on the state and national level,[quote] she says. [quote]Our faculty are constantly improving their knowledge and experiences, are involved professionally at the state and national level and provide a caring but challenging classroom environment.[quote] Weuve says she has most enjoyed the daily interaction with students since she arrived at Nicholls in 2003. [quote]Watching a student grow from knowing nothing about athletic training to becoming a professional athletic trainer is very rewarding. It makes you a part of something bigger -- a piece of me in every one of my students that gets passed on to whoever they influence in their lives.[quote] In her spare time, Weuve enjoys playing or watching sports, going to the movies and spending time with my family and dogs.
