The purpose of the Health and Exercise Science Student Association (HESSA) is to provide an enviroment whereby undergraduate students can intact with HES faculty members and other departmental staff on both social and professional levels in such a way as to enhance the cohesiveness and effectiveness of the Health and Exercise Science Department.
