Service Engagement

The HPER Club in the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation plays a vital role in the development of our students.  The club seeks to work with the department in developing opportunities for our students who can communicate with diverse groups of people, who have a strong commitment to their chosen profession, who are professional in all their activities and who demonstrate their commitment by belonging to national, regional and local organizations, attendance and active participation at professional meetings, presenting papers at professional meetings and serving on professional committees.

The HPER Club also emphasizes leadership, community action and service and school spirit.  Each year the club organizes and sponsors various activities, such as seminars, lecture series, social and cultural events.The club maintains a very high level of participation from all students.
