HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Department of Kinesiology and Health
Studies is hosting a professional development day for students on Nov. 1 in the Student
Union Ballroom on Southeastern’s campus. Titled “ASK KHS,” the symposium will begin
at 9:30 a.m. and is open to all current students, alumni, faculty and staff.
“ASK KHS is a day-long event that features presentations by professionals who
work in careers associated with our degree programs, as well as an internship fair,”
said Kinesiology and Health Studies Department Head Charity Bryan. “Sessions cover
a variety of topics in health sciences, sports medicine, fitness, sport management,
athletic training and physical education training and coaching.”
Athletic Director Emeritus Joan Cronan from the University of Tennessee is the
keynote speaker for the symposium. She will present “You, Too Can Win a National Championship,”
at 9:30 a.m. in the Student Union Theater. Cronan grew up in Opelousas and is a legend
in athletics across the country. She was just named a Title IX Trailblazer for the
SEC earlier this year.
Following Cronan’s presentation, breakout sessions are scheduled in the Student
Union Ballroom at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2 p.m., starting with former LSU Gymnastics
Coach D-D Breaux.
Kinesiology Professor and ASK KHS founder Eddie Hebert said participants in the
symposium can catch up with old friends and network with professionals attending the
internship fair.
“There is no registration process or fee, just come to the Southeastern Student
Union and join us for a great day of speakers and presentations,” he said.
