2006 Miracle Yearbook

Dr. Pam Johnson Dean 40 Faculty et Staff School of Health and Human Performance Changes aplenty touched nearly every office and classroom on campus over the past year, including the School of Health and Human Performance, which encompassed the Athletic Training, Athletics, Campus Recreation, and Exercise and Sports Science majors. The Sports Management department hired their first full-time faculty member - Dr. Alan Geist, who taught various classes within the major and oversaw Sports Management practicum and internships. He was also involved in several departmental projects, including an accreditation for the Sports Management major and a student club. Dr. April Crommett, Assistant Professor of Exercise and Sports Science, began the process of starting a new club for health students. Perhaps the most visible change within this department was first observed in the university bookstore as underclassmen found they could no longer get away with renting used versions of the infamous PACL book. A fourth edition of Physical Fitness and the Christian: Exercising Stewardship, by Dean Pamela Johnson and Professor L. Delyte Morris, was approved and quickly implemented into classroom instruction. Finally, this past summer, the Campus Recreation Program made the move from the Student Life Division to the School of Health and Human Performance. Incorporating over 40 activities and opportunities for students to have fun and improve their health, Campus Recreation, along with the entire School of Health and Human Performance, fulfilled their purpose to "develop (in students) an awareness of the Christian's stewardship responsibility with regard to the care and use of the body" in a unique and practical way.
