Going to the gym plays a major role in Dr. Fallon Mitchell's (PhD Kinesiology, '26) mental and physical health. 

However, gyms are not always accessible or welcoming places for everyone, including people with a disability. 

Mitchell will receive the Governor General's Gold Medal at the University of Windsor's Fall 2026 Convocation in recognition of doctoral work that aims to reduce barriers to fitness spaces and create more welcoming facilities for all.

Earlier this month, she organized the 13th annual — and final — local Women’s 100, marking more than a decade of leading the inclusive cycling event.
