Mission Statement for Kinesiology & Outdoor Recreation
The mission of the Department of Kinesiology and Outdoor Recreation is to equip future leaders, practitioners, and scholars in Kinesiology and Outdoor Recreation to contribute to a diverse society through innovative and engaging instruction, scholarship, and professional service.
We hope that graduates from KOR degrees will
- appreciate, apply, and teach technical, communication, and awareness skills;
- demonstrate knowledge of rules, strategies, and appropriate behaviors for selected disciplines and physical activities which include coaching, athletic training, intramurals, and health education;
- demonstrate competency in outdoor leadership, wilderness medicine, land management, programming and administration, and interpretation;
- identify benefits, costs, and obligations associated with regular participation in physical activity and outdoor recreation as well as recognize the risk and safety factors associated with participation;
- understand that wellness involves more than being physically fit and sport and leisure provide an opportunity for enjoyment, self-expression, environmental awareness, communication, and a common unifying experience that transcends social and cultural differences;
- cherish the feelings that result from regular participation in physical activity and outdoor recreation; and
- respect the role that regular leisure plays in the pursuit of lifelong health and happiness.
