Title
Modeling Education through Interdepartmental Collaboration with Dance and Exercise Science Majors
Synopsis:
At many colleges and universities, research in exercise science has transitioned to focus on how movement impacts human health and well-being. This poster provides an overview of how St. Olaf College integrated various public health strategies into their exercise science instruction, research, and outreach efforts. One particular area that emerged was the development of a program in dance education through the lens of exercise science students in a directed undergraduate research project.
