The Department of Health and Exercise Science hosted an activity event during advising day today. Students gathered, chatted about majors and minors, and spent some time in the beautiful fall weather playing kubb, bucket golf, and tossing bean bags with faculty and fellow students. It was a great day to connect, learn, and enjoy one another.

Students practiced drawing components of the urinary system today with Kiki Harbitz in HES 130: Your Body: Awareness and Advocacy.
In HES 130/131, students become familiar with normal structure and function of the human body, and learn about common conditions that affect the body. They also gain skills needed for advocating for themselves and others in medical situations. The course is required for Health/Physical Education majors, and is also a Natural Science credit general education course. And, bonus…… It’s a lot of fun!
