Kinesiology Senior Gift Program
What Is the Kinesiology Senior Gift?
This is the first year a graduating senior class will personally give something back to the Kinesiology community. The Senior Gift Committee, a group of nine students from all four majors within Kinesiology, established the award to leave something behind for future classes to remember the Class of 2008 by. Who's given so far? Click on the graphic below...
The Class of 2008’s senior gift will be a contribution to the “Kinesiology Student Leadership Award,” to be given to Kinesiology Juniors who have shown true leadership both inside and outside of the Division of Kinesiology. Potential candidates will be nominated by their peers, as well as Kinesiology faculty and staff. Recipients will receive a modest monetary award and will be recognized at the Honors Convention on Sunday, March 16.
The nomination and application periods have ended. Thank you and Good Luck!
Why Should I Give?
Seniors…show future Kinesiology grads you are interested in their success! Be a part of the first Kinesiology Senior Class to personally give back to the school we have been a part of for the past four years.

Show your pride for Kinesiology and prove that your major is more spirited than all of the rest!
