"If you’ve ever had a passion playing sports or being active, studying Exercise Science is appealing because we’re provided with the opportunity to answer the ‘why’ behind our passions. Many of us have either had our passion taken away through injury or got stuck at a performance hurdle. Through Exercise Science, we can begin to understand, apply, and overcome those challenges."

"I highly encourage students to do research – it’s so worth it and really sets you up for standing out from others who might have more education, but lack research experience. When I interviewed for an internship, I could explain how I would apply my research experience in the context of the position. Plus, you naturally will build a relationship with the professor you are working with, which is important because they likely will be one of your first connections when you start pursuing jobs."
