Exercise Science Expo offers networking opportunities for students

Students interested in careers in exercise science will have the opportunity to network with area professionals during the Exercise Science Career and Internship Expo November 21.

The event will take place from noon-1:30 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center Grand River Room.

Aside from professional networking opportunities, Heather Peddie, exercise science internship coordinator, said the expo also aims to provide an educational experience for students. At the expo, students will not only get to learn from more than 50 current exercise science interns about their experiences in the field, but will also have the opportunity to learn about the various employment avenues within exercise science.

Companies expected to attend the Exercise Science and Internship Expo include Grand Traverse Bay YMCA, Spectrum Healthier Communities, MSU Spartan Performance, Onsite Wellness LLC, as well as Grand Valley’s Career Center, Campus Recreation and Health and Wellness office.

Grand Valley’s Department of Movement Science sponsors the expo.
