Kinesiology students will be getting more hands-on learning experiences at the College of DuPage.
COD’s Physical Education, Fitness and Sports Studies department recently celebrated the opening of a new kinesiology lab, the college shared in a press release.
Expanding kinesthetic learning
Jane Vatchev, an assistant professor at COD and co-chair of the Physical Education department, said the space has been three years in the making.
“This lab has been a long time coming,” Vatchev said, “so we are very excited to see this student learning space come to fruition.”
The facility includes advanced technology and equipment for conducting more than 100 fitness and performance assessments. The technology is designed to provide kinesiology students with more opportunities to practice their learning hands-on.
