| Commencement Celebrates KIN Class of '04 |

Graduates today, friends for life
|
The Kinesiology Commencement ceremony was special – because of the 106 graduates, and because of the elegant setting at Hill Auditorium, which was recently restored to its original 1913 design. Dean Beverly Ulrich, before conferring the degrees said to the graduates, “the sadness of watching you go is tempered by our pride in your accomplishments and the confidence that we have contributed in meaningful ways to enable you to be successful.” Shelly Kovacs, Director of Student Services and Director of Alumni Relations, presented the names and degree recognitions.
Dr. Thomas Templin, Ph.D. '78, Chair of the Kinesiology Department at Purdue University, during his commencement address, spoke about the value of a Michigan degree, and Jessica Rose, student speaker, spoke about the pride of having a Michigan degree, and her appreciation of the support she received from faculty, fellow students, and her family.
Pat Van Volkinburg, Academic Program Coordinator, served as Master of Ceremonies, and recognized the student award recipients. Elizabeth Sibilsky was presented with the Stephen J. Galetti Award and Scott Bukstein, David Remias and Simon Schenk were presented with the Paul Hunsicker Award.
Bruce Watkins introduced Nora Maloy, who presented the Bernard Patrick Maloy Award for Writing Excellence to Tyler Grim. |

Nearly 20 freshmen and sophomores collaborated with Kinesiology faculty to produce research featured at this year's UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) Spring Symposium. This event, the culmination of a year's worth of effort, included two poster sessions involving several hundred students from across campus. Some students were also invited to give oral presentations of their work.
UROP and the University of Michigan ranked Number 1 in the 2003 edition of US News and World Report's annual America's Best Colleges issue for "Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects." *

| Annex Provides Kinesiology with Much Needed Space |
|
Sport Management faculty, the Michigan Center for Sport Management, and the Center for Motor Behavior and Pediatric Disabilities (formerly the Center for Motor Behavior in Down Syndrome) have a new home – just east of the Kinesiology Building at 1327 Geddes Road. “The Annex,” as the 4,000 sq. foot space is often called, consists of eleven offices, research space for the two Centers, and a common work area. The house was originally zoned for residential occupancy but was re-zoned and renovated to meet Kinesiology's space needs. The wiring system was updated and a modern fire suppression/sprinkler system was installed. Kinesiology holds a five-year lease on the property.
Kim Kiernan, Administrative Manager, said that the need for additional space became evident during the 2003/2004 space planning process, when it became clear that there wasn't enough room on-site to accommodate everyone. “This is not a permanent solution,” she said. “Even though the annex is physically close to our current location, it still represents a separation of our faculty. We are continuing to work on long-term strategies for attaining efficient and functional space to accommodate the entire Division.”
