Together with my departmental colleagues Drs. Lombardi and Schaeffer, we prepared a peer-reviewed podium presentation given at the College and University Wellness and Instructional Physical Activity Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina in late April 2013. The conference was part of the larger American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) National Convention and Exposition.
The title of our podium presentation was: Rethinking the Relationship between Health and Physical Education: Strategies for promoting lifelong Wellness for the General Education Curriculum.
The presentation discussed similarities and differences between two different college courses at Millersville University that are designed to meet general education requirements for graduation, but intended for different student populations. The two courses are: WELL 175: Wellness Concepts for Health and Fitness and WELL 240: Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Developing Child.
