Mission Statement

The Mission of the School of Human Performance and Wellness is to develop highly qualified, technically skilled physical educators and sport and wellness practitioners who have been prepared to nurture both student and client, to reflect critically on their practice, and to maximize the potential of the whole person across one’s lifespan through the medium of human movement.

Our faculty focus on three main areas of preparation: the personal, the professional, and the practical. These three work together as a three-bound cord providing a distinctive blend of character, modeling, and craftsmanship, emphasizing a connection to our Christian world view and commitment to developing community within diversity. Our school motto "Well Balanced By Design" encapsulates this mission for our majors and core wellness program.
