grads Darius, Kaleb, Mary, Kendall, Morgan, and Kaitlyn reflected on what it means to serve as Lifetime Physical Activity Fitness (LPAF) instructors while completing their coursework.

Postdoctoral scholar Dr. Ericka Biagioni, under mentorship from Dr. Linda May, has been busy with research having a direct and positive impact on pregnant women:

Continuous Glucose Monitoring technology will help Biagioni lead a study measuring 24-hour blood glucose patterns in pregnant women in response to performing different types of supervised exercise throughout pregnancy. This could determine the relationship between maternal blood glucose and infant body fat at the whole-body and cellular levels, and will be the first study to characterize maternal glucose in response to different types of prenatal exercise. Biagioni was awarded an American Diabetes Association Postdoctoral Fellowship to investigate this research. If interested in participating, email Biagioni or May.

Also, Biagioni was awarded a Novice Research Grant from The Ge**er Foundation to study essential nutrients and the use of nutrition education during pregnancy to improve the health of mothers and babies. Participants will be compensated for their time. If 16 weeks of gestation or less and interested in participating, complete the screening questionnaire ⤵️

🥁 Drum roll, please… ECU's 2026 Student Employee Supervisor of the Year goes to.... Kinesiology faculty member, Dr. Amber McEachern! 🎉

From her students: “A supervisor who ensures students feel heard, appreciated, and part of a team. She nurtures the strengths of her student employees by providing resources that encourage professional development. She is passionate about community-based work and inspires her team to serve as well.”

With all of this, it is evident that Dr. McEachern doesn’t simply ‘supervise’ our KINE 1000 GAs—she is an inspirational mentor who fosters growth both professionally and personally. Congratulations, Dr. McEachern! 🎉
