Graduate assistant Kristi Bowen is taking a new approach to teaching students about physical education.

The secondary block students in the CPASS physical education teacher education program competed in a dance competition on Thursday, March 21 in the Coliseum. Student-created “fitness” and ballroom dances were performed such as the waltz, foxtrot, salsa, cha cha, and swing dance.

Approximately 80 CPASS students and faculty gathered on a snowy January evening to enjoy good food and company. The “Meet and Greet,” hosted by the Dean’s Student Advisory Board, gathered representatives from all CPASS majors at Black Bear Burritos on the Evansdale campus. The Jan. 25 event was support by Dean Dana Brooks who personally welcomed the guests. Despite the weather the crowd networked in a relaxed atmosphere. “It was a good opportunity to meet colleagues from other majors while savoring good food during a nice winter evening in Morgantown,” explains Luciana Braga, CPASS grad student. The Dean’s Student Advisory Board appreciates the positive response to their invitation, and looks forward to hosting similar events in the near future to foster cohesion between CPASS departments.Approximately 80 CPASS students and faculty gathered on a snowy January evening to enjoy good food and company.

Senior sport and exercise psychology major Vincent Fitch was recently accepted into Physical Therapy School at West Virginia University. According to Fitch, his experience as a CPASS student made a positive difference in his application process. “Being a CPASS student gives me an upper hand with physical therapy. I’ve learned a lot of things that apply to the field. Prior to this year there had been one sport psychology student to get accepted, and there are four this year. I think our CPASS background helps us see things differently, and gives us the ability to provide something that others cannot,” said Fitch. He will graduate and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology. PT school start dates vary, but Fitch plans to begin his next academic adventure sometime between late May to early June 2013.
