320 Huron St.
With our theme of 'Moving Research Forward', we aim to highlight the recent advancements in health, sport, and physical education that were driven in large part by the hard work of students. By discussing where the frontiers of science stand today, we believe a clearer perspective of the future will emerge.
We encourage students from all facets of kinesiology research to contribute their unique insights to the body of knowledge that will be presented at this years conference.
