Welcome back, Wolfpack! 🐺 We’re so happy to see you back on campus. Good luck with your first day of classes!

Lauren Smith, Director of Nutrition and Wellness at NC State Dining, stopped by our Fitness Kickboxing classes last week to discuss healthy pre-workout and post-workout options with our students.

Summer Session 1 is in full form with HESF 101 Fitness and Wellness instructor Joy Kagendo. 😎🌅

graduate Morgan Robinson dives into her experience with the health minor throughout her time as a member of the Wolfpack. 🐺

“I had a wonderful experience throughout my time completing the health minor. My favorite memory was getting to help and change the outlook of health and nutrition for young children at the Boys and Girls club during my practicum.”

Morgan plans on obtaining a Master’s degree on the Dietetics track post-graduation, which she will use to become a Registered Dietician in the field of neonatal nutrition.

“I believe that having the experience of completing the health minor helped to point out vulnerable populations in the health community, and I want to use my future career to help.”

Hey Wolfpack, how are you spending your summer outdoors? ☀️🚣‍♀️

Did you know that the Department of Health and Exercise Studies was initially established in 1923 as the “Department of Physical Education and Athletics”?

It wasn’t until 1946 when Physical Education and Athletics became separate departments.
