KSC Student Chapter ASSE Professional Development Conference "Building a Community of Future Safety Leaders"

The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Student Chapter at Keene State College will be holding its first Professional Development Conference (PDC) on campus with the theme of “Building a Community of Future Safety Leaders.” This conference will feature speakers from a variety of different industries, ranging from construction to ergonomics. This will provide you, the attendees, with an opportunity to learn about current Safety and Health topics that are a buzz in the Safety world. Along with speakers, we will be having members of the Keene Fire Department performing their confined space training in the confined space lab located in the TDS center. They will be performing live training rescues throughout the day for all to see.

Attendees from the industry will also have the opportunity to network with other safety and health professionals from around New England. There will also be the opportunity to network with students in the Safety and Occupational Health Applied Sciences program that are looking for internships and jobs come May.

The goal of this event is to establish a Safety and Health community that will extend beyond the Keene State College Campus. One of the main objectives to achieve this goal is to share with the entire Safety and Occupational Health Applied Sciences Majors, what it like to attend a professional development conference. Some of our student members have had opportunities to attend professional conferences such as the events previously held in Orlando, Warwick and Schaumburg. Another purpose of this conference is to connect the student body with current safety professional in order to build a community focused around the sustainability of the safety and health profession. To accomplish this goal, it is critical to have active participation from the current student body, faculty, alumni, and current safety professionals.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the event, please contact Brady Keene, the Organizational Liaison for the Keene State College Student Chapter of ASSE at bkeene@ksc.keene.edu.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
