Mind, Body and Fitness Program

October 14, 2021

September 13, 2021, started week one of the Mind, Body and Fitness program initiated by Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology faculty members Christina Gipson, Ph.D., Tamerah Hunt, Ph.D., and Megan Byrd, Ph.D. The program is free of charge and aims to help identify, address and manage stress. During the program, undergraduate sport management students enrolled in the Leadership in Sport Development course at Georgia Southern University are working directly with Bulloch County teachers to provide fitness and mindfulness activities. Prior to the start of the program, students received training in mindfulness and personal training activities through Fitness Mentors and Symonds Corporate Training. So far, participants have worked on balance, flexibility and muscle endurance, discussed work-life balance, and identified personal stressors and their impact. You can follow the journey on Facebook.

Employment Opportunities

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.
