About
The Exercise Science Club is a student-led club that brings together Exercise Science students and fosters many different types of opportunities. These opportunities include, social events to connect with other students and faculty, volunteer events to help build experience and resumes, and the opportunity to listen to guest speakers that are professionals in Exercise Science. Guest speakers are a great resource for connections for future opportunities: shadowing, a potential internship site, or even a potential job site.
The club has been growing the past few years, and with it, the opportunities. Last year, the club was able to send some members up to Chicago to learn from Exercise Science professionals at some major facilities. Overall, the club is a great resource for Exercise Science students to join and learn more about the field of Exercise Science. To join the club, contact Aleena Alfaro.
