Dr. Willie J. Burden Memorial Fund Endowed

March 8, 2019

This past February, the final papers were signed to endow the Dr. Willie J. Burden Memorial Fund. The fund was established as a way to continue Dr. Burden’s legacy of service to sport management students in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology. Over the course of 16 years at Georgia Southern University, Burden was a tenured approachable, student-centered professor who taught 13 different courses in sport management and served as an undergraduate program coordinator as well as the faculty advisor for the Sport Management Club. The fund will provide scholarships to deserving sport management students beginning Fall Semester 2019.

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.
