Faculty Help Local Robotics Team on NASA Project

September 25, 2018

Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology faculty members Li Li, Ph.D., professor, Barry Munkasy, Ph.D., associate professor, and Daniel Czech, Ph.D., professor, hosted Statesboro’s Trinity Christian School (TCS) Robotics Club on September 17, 2018 on the Georgia Southern University Statesboro Campus. The robotics team is gearing up for NASA’s Interscholastic Robotics Competition:  How to exercise in outer space. Faculty members answered pertinent bio-mechanical questions and psychological questions to assist in preparing the students for their competition.

“To have experts our team can learn from is such a great experience and will help tremendously in our goal this year,” stated David Lattner, headmaster and head coach of TCS’s robotics team.

In addition, students were provided the opportunity to tour the biomechanics lab located in the Hanner Fieldhouse on the Statesboro Campus.

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.
