Dawn’s research focuses on physical activity in children.  In her first year, Dawn evaluated the validity of the CSA motion sensor and published her findings in Pediatric Exercise Science.  The study was HER idea, she collected all the data, and required only minimal mentoring. This past year, Dawn co-authored two chapters on pediatric exercise physiology for an on-line clinical textbook (Up To Date). Dawn has another paper under review, and one in progress. Her PhD dissertation involves a sample of over 500 students.  She is evaluating how physical education class participation affects students’ physical activity behaviors, as well as academic performance.  Dawn applied for, and was awarded three grants to support her project. Dawn taught KIN 310 and 411, as well as BIP classes.  Her SIRS have been excellent. Her grading schema is fair, but rigorous. Dawn has also been a 3-year research assistant in the Human Energy Research Lab.  Her assistance has helped foster the lab’s excellent research environment.  In the Summer, 2001, Dawn worked with the Mott Children’s Health Center in Flint, MI.  Her role was to run a “fitness and physical activity camp” for children.  Dawn has accepted a position as assistant professor at Grand Valley State University.  We congratulate Dawn on her accomplishments and wish her continued professional success.
