My proposal addresses the following program track, related to kinesiology in higher education:(Please check appropriate box)

Development –In the current era of globalization, organizations such as NAKHE have had to think broader about it’s purpose particularly as it relates to engaging other constituencies. Presentations under this track report or imagine ways that schools, departments and universities have incorporated a more global approach to kinesiology related professions in higher education.

Industrialism- It has been suggested that the fundamental philosophy of the market economy and “profit” is in conflict with the academic and moral purpose of the university. Presentations under this track discuss the ethics and dilemmas associated with the business of higher education and the business of assisting the community. Are both of these entities destined to compete? Are there synergies between these entities that can be useful and replicated on a broader scale?

Stewardship of Intercollegiate Athletics- Presentations under this track should provide insight on the role of higher education in intercollegiate athletics. Discourse can include (but are not limited to) partnerships, social, moral, and ethical considerations, space usage, program offerings, student athlete rights in the university, and leadership.

Interdisciplinary – Presentations under this track cover a range of topics relative to the theme of mentoring and stewardship. These can include (but are not limited to) models, research, current topics, leadership development, strategic planning and implementation.

TXXXop of Form

Diversity, Inclusiveness,and Social Justice–It is undeniable that issues of difference and access will help to shape what higher education will look like in the next few decades. What can national organizations, schools, departments and universities do to dissolve existing infrastructure and help frame a realizable vision for the future. What is the power of stewardship and leadership in this respect?

Technology- We are in an era of technology that connects millions in an unprecedented fashion. How can organizations take technology and use it for the benefit of existing programs and communities? Further, how can technology further development kinesiology related professions and the professionals involved in these endeavors?

(There is some flexibility within these topics, please choose the theme that best fits your proposal)
