Message from Department Head Kim Graber

Hello, members of the Kinesiology and Community Health family,

As we wrap up the academic year, I am delighted to present the latest—and final—edition of the Kinesiology and Community Health newsletter. I say final because, as you all know, the department will officially be known as the Department of Health and Kinesiology as of July 1. We have a lot to be proud of from this past year, and a lot to look forward to.

Within these pages, you will read more about our historic name change, delve into the captivating research endeavors our faculty is pursuing, and we’ll showcase the achievements of some of our outstanding students. Their commitment to academic excellence and their steadfast dedication to cultivating healthier communities are truly admirable.

In conclusion, I urge you to immerse yourselves in the spring 2024 Kinesiology and Community Health newsletter, drawing inspiration from its contents, and persistently embodying the ethos of well-being and community in all your endeavors.

Here’s to a fruitful and invigorating summer.

Warm regards,

Kim Graber
