An effective university experience must include:

- Integrity – practice what you preach, be the change you wish to see,
- Teology – to teach and dialogue with purpose, integrating theoretical and philosophical premises with real case studies and people,
- Individualism – we celebrate the diversity of every student’s past, present, future, along with each student’s learning styles, (we hear it, see it, do it, teach it),
- Relationship – Trainer vs Coach / Owner vs Facilitator – teachers’ roles are shifting from owners of information to facilitators and guides to learning
Senior Thesis & Research (video coming soon!)

Combine our world’s increasingly dire need for objective critical thinkers with the high value of creative problem solving, and you can understand the need for learning and completing high quality research projects that will help you ask questions, find answers, and explore the vast and fascinating science of health, exercise, and human performance.
