The Kinesiology Club was formed to serve as a link amongst students both in and interested in the Kinesiology major; to organize and attend events of interest to us; to create networking opportunities amongst students and faculty; and to reach out to local communities to make connections between their residents and UMass. We attend the New England College of Sports Medicine (NEACSM) Fall Conference and invite numerous guest speakers, from various professions, that Kinesiology students may be interested in. Also, we hold information sessions about graduate schools as well as work within the School of Public Health and Health Sciences (SPHHS) with other student organizations to fundraise through events not only for our clubs but also for both local and national charity organizations.
