Our Mission & Culture

Rich with tradition, full of scholarly and professional opportunities, and with a student-first approach, the Department of Kinesiology’s mission is to provide a diverse student body with engaging, service-focused, and practical activities informed by evidence-based scholarly research.  Through the Department’s comprehensive and innovative majors taught by dedicated and engaging faculty, the goal of the Department is to advance student learning not just in the classroom, but in the field as well, thus serving the larger community of Indianapolis, and beyond.  The Department of Kinesiology is student-centered, encouraging a lifetime of learning and innovation.

Why ePortfolios?

The ePortfolio in Kinesiology is a program-level reflective ePortfolio that serves as a central location for students to highlight meaningful and impactful learning experiences, while exploring the process of personal and professional development via guided- and self-reflection.

 

The ePortfolio is a visual representation of a student's personal journey to professionalism -- it is a living document that captures a student's journey of their undergraduate experience as it emerges.
