A Brock Master of Professional Kinesiology student is standing while speaking to two people from Niagara Support Services, who are both sitting. They each wear a lanyard that identifies their name and organization. Several small groups of people can be seen in the background having conversations.

Incoming Master of Professional Kinesiology (MPK) students met with community partners, Brock faculty and fellow students on Friday, Aug. 18 at the MPK Student Orientation and Community Partner Meet and Greet. Brock's MPK program is a 12-month course-based program that includes professional development opportunities and a minimum of 450 hours of experiential education in kinesiology through practicum placements with community partners.
