Community partnerships are central to our department’s vision and benefit community members as well as our faculty and students. The overarching aim of many of the collaborations is to promote healthy lifestyles and lifetime physical activity.

We have a long history of successful community collaborations. Our community partnerships are multi-disciplinary and focus on translating knowledge into practice. We work with individuals of all ages ranging from children to older adults and across numerous settings, including local school systems, hospital and clinics, colleges and universities, and athletic teams.

Our faculty members conduct funded research projects within the community and in conjunction with local organizations. Additionally, our students are actively engaged in the community through research, service projects, and internships.
