How can students be involved in the OSRT?
The OSRT student board member acts as a voice for students in the state while learning who the OSRT is and how it works. The Student Board Member is included in society committees and produces the annual Skiagram Newsletter! Applications open in the fall and a student board board member serves from January to January.

“As the Student Board Member I was an active and valued part of the OSRT board; designing the Skiagram, volunteering for the Mammography Conference, and developing the OSRT’s social media. It developed my public speaking skills, allowed me to network with other technologists, gave me ideas to improve my leadership committee back at school, and opened up employment opportunities after graduation! I am so thankful I submitted that application video and attended the annual conferences!”
