Our alumni make us proud
Giving to the School of Kinesiology
The School of Kinesiology focuses on the biological, developmental, social, and behavioral bases of physical activity, recreation, sport and human performance through its programs in kinesiology, sport management, and recreation, park and leisure studies. Advancing the traditions of innovative basic and applied scholarship allows us to attract and retain the best young faculty and graduate students in the field, broadening the scope of our research and enriching both undergraduate and graduate education. The programs in the School prepare students for a variety of professional opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Graduates of our programs may anticipate career paths in teaching, community service, allied health, industry and business.
You make us great
Your generous tax-deductible support of the School of Kinesiology is more critical than ever. Gifts for undergraduate scholarships help provide support for current and future students while easing the burden of rising tuition. Support through scholarships and fellowships enables the School to compete nationally and internationally for top graduate students, enhancing our research and strengthening our ability to develop and greatly improve partnerships with communities, schools and organizations. Though state funding may be at historic lows, your support gives our students the much needed resources for enlarging knowledge and understanding in such areas as childhood obesity, health and wellness, the impact of sport on girls and women, and movement science.
