Get involved

Are you a Kinesiology, Nursing, or Occupational Therapy student? If so you should look into the Kinesiology Undergraduate Student Organization (KUSO), Nursing Student Association (NSA), or the Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA).

KUSO provides opportunities and resources for undergraduate kinesiology students to extend and build upon experiences in the classroom. They organize events, activities, and programs on campus and help with events in the community. For example, they have brought in the “band man” to do exercise with and host a walking taco sale to fundraise.
