Paul Loeb once wrote that because “…most of our serious problems, are in large part common problems, which can be solved only through common efforts.” This is why the Department of Kinesiology is proud to be part of a campus wide effort in combating cardiovascular disease (CVD), the number one leading cause of death.
Our very own, Dr. Laurie Wideman, is one of many on campus looking to make a real impact on the prevention of CVD. Laurie is interested in combining her research in conjunction with Human Development and Family Studies’ Right Track’s data to create Right Track: Health. An initiative that takes a cross-disciplinary perspective on emotion and behavior regulation and it’s impact on health.
