Getting the Word Out: The Exercise Science Club
The School of Education emphasizes the importance of student engagement on and off campus. The Exercise Science Club is one truly active club. On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, the Exercise Science Club members ran a booth in the Student Center at the Student Organization Expo.
