CSM Massage Therapy students along with two instructors traveled to Annapolis March 16 to join in the American Massage Therapy Association-Maryland's Legislative Awareness Day. With their portable massage chairs, students and faculty provided seated massages to legislative aides and staff in the Miller Senate Office Building, “offering a much-needed respite during a busy legislative session,” said CSM Massage Therapy Professor Tara McManaway. “Students were also introduced to how the legislative process works and how professional organizations serve the massage therapy profession.” Second- and fourth-semester students providing massages at this event included, standing from left, Jennifer-kay Dauz of Accokeek, Barbara M. LeMay of Hughesville, McManaway, Brianne Cleary of Huntingtown and Elizabeth Landmann of Mechanicsville, and seated from left, Christine Penman of Patuxent River, CSM Instructor Patrick Love and Samantha A. Zabel of Waldorf. For information on CSM, visit http://www.csmd.edu.
