Dr. Brett Bruininks, associate professor, has been named the new chair of the Health and Exercise Science (HES) Department in the Morrison Family College of Health. He takes over the role from outgoing chair Dr. Paul Mellick, who will continue to lead as director of the Sports Science Institute at St. Thomas.

Dr. Bruininks has been a faculty member here at St. Thomas for the last 11 years, and we are so excited to have him in this new leadership role. His current research explores the influence of specialized multi-component resistance training on fall prevention in older adults. He has also done work in musculoskeletal adaptations to high intensity sports participation and the potential physical effects of sport specialization on youth development.

The University of St. Thomas will be closed today as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day. Recognized on the second Tuesday each October, Indigenous People's Day gives us the opportunity to honor those who are native to the land we all inhabit today!

Today and every day, we hope you are inspired by the practices of Indigenous People: having a deep connection to nature, sharing with others, caring for friends and family, and giving thanks to the land for all that it gives - like food and a home for all.

Happy Indigenous People's Day everyone! 💜
