Faculty Serves as Guest Speaker at Asian Symposium

June 28, 2018

In April, Professor Li Li, Ph.D. in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology, presented research at the Asian Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. Li serves as a member of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and was invited to present his research, “Postural Control and Functional Mobility among People with Peripheral Neuropathy,” as the Asian representative of the ISB executive committee at the symposium.

The one-day event, which was sponsored by the De Luca Foundation, was composed of speakers from Japan and the United States, who are considered well-established in the fields of motor control and biomechanics.

The Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology is housed in the Waters College of Health Professions and offers undergraduate and graduate programs in the areas of health sciences, nutrition and food science, sport management, athletic training, exercise science, health administration, coaching, physical education, sport and exercise psychology, dietetics, gerontology, and sports medicine.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements.  Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
