Dean's Message

As the new Dean of the Faculty of Human Kinetics, it is a great honour to join the HK family.  I intend to build on the positive and supportive environment fostered by Dean Bob Boucher over his tenure.  It is certainly an exciting time for the Faculty given the recent influx of academic appointments and major investment in facilities.  The energy and enthusiasm in the faculty is outstanding.  In both the Department of Kinesiology and Department of Athletics and Recreational Services, we strive for the highest of standards in a manner that is enjoyable for both staff and students.  In the pursuit of teaching, research and sport excellence, it is our people and teamwork that count more than anything else.  Both undergraduate and graduate programs are student centered and research driven to foster lifelong learning.  Students are encouraged to extend their university experience beyond the classroom to both campus and community activities.  The quality of university education has a major impact on future careers and it is our goal to prepare students for the challenges that lie ahead.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Khan, Ph.D.

Dean of Human Kinetics
