Welcome to the extended KIN community on LinkedIn! We are happy to have you with us here as we are strengthened and enriched by our partnerships with the community beyond the School’s walls. Since its foundation in 1946, the School has had an extraordinary impact through its graduates on shaping the identity of British Columbians through physical activity, sport and wellbeing. Over the past 75 years, our alumni community has contributed immensely to the culture of active living for which BC is famous. The School has evolved to become one of the most interdisciplinary programs at UBC. And as a result, our community is rich and diverse – with impacts on health care delivery, chronic disease and injury prevention, physical literacy in children, understanding balance deficits among society’s elder population, international diplomacy and how to help Canada’s athletes and coaches optimize their performance, improving the health of people in marginalized communities, socio-cultural issues – disability, mental health, Indigenous health, sexual abuse, the effects of social media and pop culture, gender identity, sustainability, and inclusion. We invite your participation in the future of the School of Kinesiology. We want you to stay active and connected! And we hope to be able to continue to give back to you in some way on this page, be it as a career network hub, an information source, cutting edge, evidence-based research findings, or informative conversations about the advancement of Kinesiology in society. Thank you for joining us here! Dr. Robert Boushel, Director of the School of Kinesiology
