We’re celebrating a leader who goes beyond the classroom! 🌟

Kevin Conley, SHRS associate dean for undergraduate studies, Sports Medicine and Nutrition Department chair and professor, was honored at a ceremony on March 31 with the Chancellor’s Distinguished Public Service Award, recognizing his accomplishments and contributions to athletic training, education and community service over the last three decades.
