This is a very exciting year for the department of Kinesiology at Michigan State University. The countdown to the beginning of our centennial year is underway with several events scheduled to help in the celebration, including:

so you won’t miss any of our festivities!

Did you notice the new department Logo? Almost 100 students, faculty, and staff voted and are eligible for a drawing for a free T-shirt with the new logo printed on it. Look for the logo on many souvenir items this year (T-shirts, banners, mugs, etc.) which will be available for purchase at events throughout the year.

Do you have any items of historical importance to our Department? Check your picture albums and cabinets for any records of our history. If you find something fun and interesting (pictures, artifacts, or memorabilia) please consider sending them to Jan Davenport, the Centennial Committee Secretary, in the Department of Kinesiology Office in room 138 IM Circle. Be sure to label each item with names, dates, etc., and include your name and address so we can return them to you after the celebration is over.

We also need your help! Although we have wonderful activities planned, we still need some assistance in planning and financing the events.
