Meet our team of professional and dedicated staff members who are all current students enrolled in academic programs of study at 亚色影库. Please let us know how we can help in your quest for health and fitness.
Each year in August, a new management team steps in to begin their professional journey in the fitness center. These individuals are also graduate students earning their master's degrees from the Sports Management Department.
In addition to a new management team each academic year, the fitness center is staffed with interns and student workers.
Each semester, towards the end of August and January, you will see the new faces of undergraduate students pursuing Sports Administration degrees completing their internship experiences in the fitness center.
There are also student workers with various backgrounds and interests who add to our staff in a variety of ways as fitness instructors, personal trainers, or fitness and membership attendants. Please welcome new faces, and don't be afraid to ask questions as we get to know you!
