Student Life
Make this the year you get involved with a student club or project on campus. Graduate students within the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation get to experience the vast amount of activities of a large university while being part of a small faculty.
Get involved! Participating in activities will allow you to meet new people, develop new skills and discover new interests. Be sure to get the most out of your university experience!
