In 2024, her first year at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), Chelsea Marks wanted to join a club that would help her connect with the O&P community.
“When I found there was no [O&P] club on campus, I realized there was no reason for me not to start one, and I begin to bridge the gap of including undergraduates in making a difference before achieving their degree. I came up with the idea for the O&P club because being a freshman, I was looking for a club that could show me how to get involved in the world of orthotics and prosthetics,” says Marks, who is studying rehabilitative health sciences at the university. She plans to pursue her Master of Science in Orthotics & Prosthetics (MSOP) degree in 2028.
