The spike in anti-Asian racism and hatred over the past two years has woken us up, as a society, to the need for more knowledge and awareness about Asian Americans. The Minor in Asian American Studies at Ohio State opens the door to just that, introducing students to the history, literature, art, and culture of Asians in the US. Whether your major is in the humanities, social sciences, or STEM, whether you are interested in business or international relations or policy, our Minor – requiring only four courses – will enhance your OSU degree.

Join us for this one-hour info session on the Asian American Studies minor at 5pm on Thursday, October 28.  Dr. Joe Ponce, who is teaching the Intro to Asian American Studies course in Spring 2022, will be joining us, as well as current AAS minors (Comp Studies 2321). Please register at https://go.osu.edu/aas-minor-info and receive the Zoom link.

KNHES 3416 “Theory of Strength and Conditioning” being offered by the Department of Human Sciences is the first undergraduate course dedicated to providing the underlying background needed for the design of successful strength and conditioning programs required for optimal health and fitness for individuals across the life span to elite athletes attempting optimizing performance.  Owing to the scientific nature of modern-day strength and conditioning programming, they must be supported by understanding core physiological and biomechanical principles for evidence-based practices. Knowledge-based practices as to how programs are individualized have become even more critical for player development in sports. Whether one’s career aspirations are exercise science, personal training, athletic training, physical therapy, sports medicine physician, or becoming a strength and conditioning professional, having a solid base in strength and conditioning program design is fundamental for career progression.  Having such a course in your background also prepares one for various certifications by national governing bodies, which all require knowledge in exercise prescription and program design.

• Who the course is relevant for

Developing expert background for exercise science graduate training, personal training, athletic training, physical therapy, sports medicine physician, or becoming a strength and conditioning professional

• What it prepares you

Helps to prepare you for all of the National Strength and Conditioning Association certification tests, CSCS, CPT, TsacF , College Strength Coaches, Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified (SCCC), and the American College of Sports Medicine’s Per Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified (SCCC) PersonalTrainer certification.

• Faculty bio – Dr. Kraemer is a professor in kinesiology/exercise science at The Ohio State University’s Department of Human Sciences. He is one of the world authorities in strength training, past president of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), honored by the NSCA with their Lifetime Achievement Award and by the American College of Sports Medicine, by their Citation Award, over 500 publications, author of several books on strength training program design and ranked the Number 1 Sports Scientist of the top 100 in the world by Science for Sport.

On behalf of the First Generation Envisioning Network (FGEN), I am reaching out because I was hoping you could share our 8-week FGEN summer cohort program for first-generation college students with your advising networks, perhaps in the newsletter. I have some marketing materials available if that would be helpful, including the image attached here.

This program is a paid opportunity for first generation students to analyze their personal goals and values, meet an array of employers, build a network of peers and employer contacts, and advance their career paths. The program is fully virtual and begins June 7th and ends August 13^th. We meet weekly over Zoom for about 90 minutes per week. In addition to this time commitment, students will also participate in career development sessions, such as mock interviews and financial wellness sessions, and meet with top Columbus area employers. The program pays up to $150 at the completion of the 8-week program.

First-generation college students can sign up here by April 30. Spots are limited, so students should sign up as soon as possible.

If you have any questions about the program, please let me know!

Best,

Kaity
