The USC Kinesiology Club

The USC Kinesiology Club is a pre-health academic society aiming to promote the field of Exercise Science.  The USC Kinesiology Club provides the opportunity for students interested in kinesiology to:

  • form an academic network outside the classroom
  • form a social network with students who share similar education and career goals
  • form personal relationships and promote communication between kinesiology students and faculty
  • form a professional network outside of USC, bridging the gap between students and their future career
  • use the networks to pursue answers to educational and career related questions
  • promote campus and community health and wellness education
  • advance the overall purpose of the field of kinesiology

To get involved and become a member, please contact Laura Ames, Student Services Advisor at: ames@usc.edu or (213) 740-2480.
