Philip B. Donley, a native of the Northern Panhandle and a graduate of Follansbee High School, came to WVU in 1952. Following graduation from the School of Physical Education in 1956, he enrolled at D.T. Watson in pursuit of a degree in physical therapy. Following a three-year stint as a physical therapist in Akron, Donley returned to his alma mater in 1960 as a member of the faculty and athletic training staff. In 1965, he assumed a position at West Chester State University where he has served since that time as professor of physical education, head athletic trainer, and athletic training education program director. His most recent research has focused on a ten-year study on professional baseball players, leading to the development of prevention and rehabilitation methods for upper extremity problems and body kinetic chains. Donley continues to serve as a part-time employee at the West Chester Office of Optimum Physical Therapy Associates and gives lectures on shoulder and full body kinetic chain options.

CPASS.WVU.EDU STUDY ABROAD

Early this summer, three CPASS undergraduate students and one faculty member joined 27 other students and faculty on a 10-day trip to Canada. This was the fifth version of the state-sponsored trip to L’Université Laval in Quebec City, Canada.

Established in 2009, the program, sponsored by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, is a joint initiative of three major state universities: West Virginia University, Marshall University, and West Virginia State University, and one Canadian university - L’Université Laval. The program provides students with an inexpensive opportunity to engage in a firsthand experience of a foreign culture and language.

For the first time, the 2013 program included visits and lectures related to sport. Gonzalo Bravo, associate professor, College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences sport management program, coordinated the trip on behalf of the College. “This was an excellent opportunity to take CPASS students out of the country to experience sport in a different culture,” he said.

“As someone who teaches courses in international sport, this was an excellent opportunity to show our students the way sports in other countries are organized,” he added. “For those who have never been out of the country, Quebec City, Montreal and L’Université Laval campus provide numerous opportunities to experience the best of what foreign culture has to offer from language, food, music to sports,” Bravo explained.

Included in the cost of the Quebec Program, which in 2013 was $650 per person, students received a one credit course in Foreign Culture (FCLT 293: An Introduction to the Political and Cultural Identity of Canada and Campus of Laval University, Quebec City Quebec), transportation to Quebec City, all accommodations, including an overnight stay in Niagara Falls, two nights in Montreal, and six nights in Quebec City, tour sites, lectures, and most of the meals. Bravo's goal for 2014 is to take ten students on this trip.
