A message from Dean Lori Ploutz-Snyder

Lori Profile We have always aimed to be a school that moves, that shifts, that evolves.

Over the decades, we have grown from a department embedded in the School of Education to our own school in a prime spot on the Diag. We have added and transformed programs, creating top-rated offerings in sport management, movement science, athletic training, and applied exercise science. We have even developed the first-ever program that teaches students how to monitor the nervous system during complex surgeries.

Every one of these moves has mattered.
