Grad students praised for work at physiology conference

 

There was no shortage of Brock representation at last weekend’s Ontario Exercise Physiology (OEP) conference.

More than 30 graduate students from the University’s Faculty of Applied Health Sciences (FAHS) travelled to Barrie, Ont., for the annual learning experience.

“This year we had the second largest delegation of students at the conference,” said FAHS Associate Dean Nota Klentrou.

Students were joined by faculty supervisors from the departments of Health Sciences and Kinesiology.

The OEP conference provides Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology students the opportunity to gain valuable experience by showcasing their research findings and proposals through oral and poster presentations.

Of those in attendance, 28 Brock graduate students delivered presentations and three undergraduate students presented posters of their research.

Brock’s graduate students “presented polished scientific work and answered questions with confidence and strong arguments,” said Klentrou.

She expressed pride in all of the students who participated and offered her congratulations to both the students and their supervisors.
