Students, a postdoctoral fellow, and faculty representing Therapeutic Recreation (Dr. Angela Wozencroft, Dr. Jason Scott, Ashley Hamilton, Kelsey Webb, and Kayley Siler) and Kinesiology (Dr. Samantha Ehrlich, Dr. Suryeon Ryu, Mikayla Greene, and Imelda Espinoza Velasquez) hosted tables at the 3rd Annual TN Health Careers Summit & Expo, held on Monday November 4, 2024, at the Student Union.
Our KRSS representatives spoke to over one hundred 9th graders (!) from high schools across Knoxville about health career opportunities with an undergraduate degree in Therapeutic Recreation or Kinesiology. The high school students enjoyed trying out an adaptive sport chair and measuring their step counts while slow-walking and doing the Griddy. Thank you to all of our KRSS representative volunteers! Please consider joining us for the Health Summit next year!
