Exercise Science Expo to offer 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 April 6.

The event, sponsored by the Department of Movement Science, will take place from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center Grand River Room.

Aside from professional networking opportunities, the expo also aims to provide an educational experience for students. Students can learn from current exercise science interns about their experiences in the field, and about various employment avenues within exercise science.

Companies expected to attend the Exercise Science and Internship Expo include David D. Hunting YMCA, Grand Rapids Fire Department, Spectrum Health Cardiac Rehab, Steelcase, Metro Health Hospital, and CrossFit, among many others. Representatives from the Career Center, Campus Recreation and Health and Wellness will also be in attendance.
