Student Organization

The purpose of the Health and Exercise Sciences Student Association (HESSA) is to provide an environment whereby undergraduate and graduate students can interact 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.

HESSA is a student organization in the Department of Health and Exercise Science made up of undergraduate and graduate students. Each year HESSA plans activities that help support students and foster relationships across the department and university.

Joining HESSA will allow you to get to know professors in this department in an informal setting. Joining is also a good way to meet other people pursuing the HES major and similar career fields. Additionally, HESSA will introduce students to new professional contacts, which is beneficial when developing a network of faculty, advisors, mentors, and professionals.

Membership fees are $20 per year or $15 per semester. You can join HESSA and pay membership fees online during the fall and/or spring semesters or complete a membership form and submit it with payment at the HES front desk.
