Welcome!

The Kinesiology Alumni Society was formed in 1992 to:
promote the professional and educational advancement of the field of Kinesiology;
serve as a network for graduates;
support Kinesiology fundraising efforts; and
generally assist the Division of Kinesiology in keeping its curriculum and educational programs relevant to the needs of practitioners.

All persons who have ever been enrolled in Physical Education/Kinesiology, regardless of graduation status, are viewed as Kinesiology Alumni Society (KAS) members. There are no membership dues. The Kinesiology Alumni Society is affiliated with the University of Michigan Alumni Association.


The KAS Board meets about three times a year. Its functions include sponsoring annual Kinesiology events, including the Honors Reception in March and the Alumni Reunion in the Fall. Each year the Board selects recipients of the Kinesiology Alumni Achievement Awards. These three awards, presented at the Alumni Reunion, include: Lifetime Achievement, Career Achievement, and Achievement within Ten Years of Graduation. To nominate someone (including yourself!) for the Alumni Achievement Award, contact Shelly Kovacs at (734) 647-2696 or skovacs@umich.edu.

If you have moved recently and are a member of the UM Alumni Association, please click here to update your information on the Association's Online Alumni Directory. If you are not a member of the UM Alumni Association, please give your address change to Cheryl Israel at (734) 647-2689 or cisrael@umich.edu.
