Funding from dollars raised through the FHSU Foundation is used by the Department of Health and Human Performance to support students and faculty in pursuits within the department and for outside activities related to education. Funds received allow us to enhance the educational experience of all students, HHP majors and the general student population, who participate in course and research offerings in the department. Funds may be applied toward the purchase of equipment and software used for programming directed for both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Equipment and software purchased support teaching and research in the areas of Athletic Training, Nutrition, Teacher Education, Sport Management, Wellness and Fitness.
A great learning opportunity for students is participation in state, regional and national meetings. Funds donated to the Foundation are used to support expenses of students who attend these meeting, often participation in presentation and professional developmental activities with faculty.
