The Kinesiology and Health Science Department emphasizes the value of embracing a variety of perspectives, ensuring fair opportunities, and fostering an environment where everyone feels respected and valued in our pursuit of academic excellence, discovery, and engagement. Our department encourages open dialogue and aims to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and empathy.
In pursuit of these efforts, members of our department have committed to a code of collegiality, which extends beyond mere pleasantries. We strive to communicate with others in a courteous and respectful manner, whether verbally or in writing. During disagreements, a focus is placed on addressing the issues while upholding respect for all parties involved. Further, we encourage that debates and conversations are conducted with grace, tact, and courtesy. We openly acknowledge and endorse the contributions of others towards the department's and university's objectives. We prioritize the collective benefit of the department and the university over personal gain or recognition.
