IN THIS ISSUE: Kinesiology’s Center for Exercise Research • Alumni Profiles: Kathryn Clark, Peter Kinyon • Honor Roll of Donors IN THIS ISSUE

Energy, progress, positive change. In all of its definitions, the word movement describes the dynamic state of kinesiology today. Movement encompasses the scientific study of human motion, the importance of activity on growth and development, the role of sport in society, the exploration of new directions, and emerging trends. brings you research findings and thoughtful insights on developments in kinesiology, as well as continuing updates on faculty, students, and your fellow alumni.

Division of Kinesiology Office (734) 764-5210 FROM THE DEAN

Each fall arrives in Michigan with a beautiful burst of color to adorn our trees and an opportunity to greet the many eager, enthusiastic students that fill our hallways. This year we have a student body of over 770—one of our largest ever. The 140 incoming freshmen (the class of 2005) brings our undergraduate number to 740, and we have over thirty graduate-level students. We welcome all of them to campus. We also welcome several new faculty this year. Dr. Dan Ferris joined our Movement Science Program as an expert in neuromechani- cal control of locomotion. Tim Murphy joined our Athletic Training Program in the new Clinical Education Coordinator position, and Dr. Rachael Seidler joined us as a Research Scientist who studies changes in the brain that signal the learning of new motor skills. Our faculty is excited about the year ahead and the opportunities to help our students learn and grow in their various areas of interest. There is a new look in several areas of our building. We recently completed the renovation of three exercise physiology laboratories and the creation of two new laboratories for biomechanics. In addition, we opened a new teaching laboratory this fall that will provide more opportunities for students to gain hands- on experience exploring concepts they learn about in the classroom. Our students and faculty are quickly settling into their new spaces and are enjoying the expanded opportunities for working together on exciting new research projects. You can read more about our exercise physiology laboratories in our feature article on the Center for Exercise Research on page 2 in this issue of Movement. Although at this time of year we focus much of our attention on our new students, Movement gives us a wonderful opportunity to shine the spotlight on our returning students, recent graduates, and distinguished alumni. In this issue you will see photos of current students who attended last spring’s Honors Reception and recent graduates during Commencement 2001. We have feature stories about two alumni, one whose career has literally taken flight, and another who has given back to his alma mater in a most generous way. And we highlight an alumnus who couldn’t stay away from Michigan and came back to Kinesiology as a faculty member after earning his Ph.D. We are proud of all of you, the members of our Kinesiology family. We hope you’ll help us keep up with you, wherever you may be. If you have not done so recently, please take a moment to complete the information request form on page 17. Or you can also e-mail Cheryl Israel, editor of Movement ([email protected]) directly. We would love to hear from you! We hope you enjoy this issue of Movement and that you will come back to campus to visit us whenever you can.

With best wishes,

Beverly D. Ulrich, Dean

Fall 2001 17 STUDENT NEWS Commencement 001 Commencement 2001 was a special occasion. The2 weather was perfect, the students were enthusiastic, and the speaker was outstanding. Kenneth S. Burnley, chief executive officer of the Detroit Public Schools and a Kinesiology alumnus, presented a thoughtful address on the theme of “Do it Well!” He challenged the graduates by asking the questions: “Will you follow?” “Will you lead?” or “Will you be a trailblazer?” Burnley recalled his graduation, 37 years earlier, and acknowledged it is not the speaker who makes the dif- ference, but what the graduates decide to make of their lives. He recommended that they take care of the four core areas of the self: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Burnley talked of his own life and how he man- ages to carve out time for exercise, prayer, and learning. Three special awards were presented at Commencement. The Stephen J. Galetti Award honors first-year students who show exceptional industriousness and potential. This year’s recipient was Danielle Adamczyk. The Paul A. Hunsicker Memorial Award was presented to two students: Kelly Vaughn (undergraduate) and Daniela Deman (graduate) who have demonstrated superior scholarship, professional zeal, and promise. The Teaching Excellence Award, which is selected by the students, was presented to Dr. Dale Ulrich. He was lauded for his preparation, fairness, and care and concern for his students. Ulrich received a golden apple as a memento for the award.
