The alumni of the Department of Exercise Science are truly some of our nation's and the world's top exercise scientists. It is exciting to see our alumni conducting important research in obesity, exercise performance, cancer and other health problems of the 21st century, while we see others working with people who need help becoming more physically active in order to lead healthier, happier lives.

During the past decade, our program has continued to grow and the department has increased its emphasis on applied physiology to include physical therapy and motor control as well as health aspects of physical activity.

In 2007, our research laboratories and most of our classrooms moved into the state-of-the-art Public Health Research Center (PHRC). We are currently conducting studies in genomics, biochemistry, molecular aspects of exercise, neurophysiology, and behavioral interventions, to name a few.

Our department is among the top-ranked exercise science departments in the nation. However, we are only able to maintain and enhance this position of leadership with your help. Your investment will allow us to continue to attract the best and the brightest to our program.

WAYS TO SUPPORT THE DEPARTMENT OF EXERCISE SCIENCE:

Exercise Science Department (General Fund)

Our goal is to ensure that the Exercise Science Department continues to attract the nation’s top faculty members, post-doctoral fellows and students. Your gift to our general department fund can help us continue our leadership position in the field of exercise science.

Exercise Science Fellowship Fund (Alumni)

We recently established the Exercise Science Alumni Fellowship program. This fellowship program will support highly qualified students who are committed to making a difference in our field.     Please be sure to specify Arnold School of Public Health, and then select Exercise Science Department -or- Exercise Science Fellowship Fund. -- Thank you
