Kinesiology Virtual Homecoming
Friday, October 23 was to have been our annual Homecoming event, when we welcome Kines alums and students to our hospitality tent on the Diag for fun and fellowship.
Sadly, we're not able to offer that this year. But we do have something new to celebrate -- on 10/23 we will be handed the keys to our new home! Over the next two-or-so months, faculty and staff will be gradually moving their labs and offices to the new space. We'll be ready to greet our new and returning students to their new classrooms and labs for winter semester!
In the meantime, let's have some fun in honor of coming home!
