Friday, February 16, 2007 Welcome!
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Physical Therapy Alumni Group, (PTAG). The PTAG is part of the Northeastern University's alumni association. As a recognized group we have received certain benefits from the University. Some of these benefits include: website development and maintenance on the NU server, $1000 seed money to assist in the development of the group, assistance in development of an electronic newsletter, group meeting space, and discounts at NU sponsored events. We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring our highly intelligent, hard working and wonderful PT alumni together to continue the tradition of excellence in physical therapy at NU. Please contact any one of us to learn more about the group, volunteer for leadership or committee positions or discuss ideas to make this group a dynamic and enjoyable entity.
