Fall 2009: Great news for those interested in physical activity: Our "Health and Physical Education" major, and the accompanying "Health and Physical Education with K-12 Teacher Endorsement" major through the School of Education, was approved! We'll begin officially offering the major in Fall 2010, though students can begin taking many of the required classes now. Official documents will be placed on our official department webpage once available.

May 20, 2009: We once again hosted an aid station at the 2009 NJ Marathon, this time in the pouring rain! Many thanks to the dedicated students who came out early in the morning to brave the weather and support the runners. Also a big congratulations to our Spring '09 graduates!
