Life in Kinesiology

Students often say they feel like part of a family when they join the Faculty of Kinesiology. And the hub of this family is the atrium in the Kinesiology B building. It is centrally located, has multi-level seating and it's surrounded by greenery. It is bordered by the Kinesiology advising offices, Kinesiology Students' Society office, the Dean’s office, classrooms, labs and fitness facilities. It is also a short walk to MacEwan Student Centre with food and services. In Kinesiology A building is the popular Brew & Blendz coffee shop, a quiet seating area, the Red and Gold gyms, fitness studios and the aquatic centre. Enjoy exploring your new home. 

The Kinesiology Students' Society (KSS) is an association made up of elected executives and they represent the Faculty of Kinesiology undergraduate students. The KSS foster community and student engagement, and create an inclusive and accepting environment for students. They organize events like Kin Camp (first year's go camping), Kin Games (competition with other schools) and Kindustry (a career event to meet kinesiology-related professionals).
