Socktober was a major success!! Thank you to our students and faculty who donated or volunteered their time on the BRAVE committee! Almost 200 pairs of socks were collected by the department that will be distributed to all those in need this winter season!🎉

Check out Short Talks from the Hill, Scott White, our very own assistant professor of recreation and sport management here in HHPR, discusses his research on Name, Image and Likeness and shares his thoughts on the Protect College Sports Act.

Congratulations to four of our very own HHPR faculty members for earning the Lori Libbert New Faculty Commendation 2025-2026 Award!! Joni Williamson, Christy Ralph, Ashlyn Jendro and Anup KC keep up the amazing work!

The Careers in Motion Job and Internship Fair went off without a hitch! Huge thank you to all those who tabled, faculty sent their students down for a visit and all the students for participating!!
