The School of Kinesiology and KIN Student Council invites you to this year's Kinesiology Research Day, Wednesday, April 8th, 2026 in Walter Library Rooms 401/402 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
This event will be an opportunity for faculty members, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the School of Kinesiology and related departments to interact in an interdisciplinary forum, exchange ideas, and present their achievements.
New This Year: Research Pathways Panel: 11:45 A.M. - 12:15 P.M.
The Research Pathways Panel will be a forum in which students have the opportunity to ask questions of faculty and other students involved in research. We hope to inspire undergraduate students to get involved with research as the panel will highlight how to conduct research that makes a difference.
