Meet Jimmy: Physical and health education

"WMU has a great learning environment in our programs and equally great food and activities walking distance from campus!"

What song should we listen to while we read this?

Song Title: E-Pro

Artist: Beck

Why did you choose physical and health education program?

I loved my time as an exercise science major but then I found a new passion for getting others excited about health so I switched to physical and health education. Getting others interested into their own health is very rewarding.

Who has been your favorite faculty member so far?

My favorite faculty member is definitely Dr. Mike Miller. Not only is he very knowledgeable and fun to listen to in class, he supports �鶹��ýs and fosters growth inside and outside the classroom.

What is your favorite WMU recreational activity to do?

My favorite WMU recreational activity is definitely events hosted by either the Ski/Snowboard club or the Powerlifting club.

Your best friend is trying to decide where to go to school for physical education and asks you about WMU. What do you say?

I would tell me friend to absolutely consider WMU as we have a great learning environment in our programs and equally great food walking distance from campus!

You can have any quote or sign hanging up in your future classroom, what will it say?

"Rising by Lifting Others"
