Congratulations to Dr. Jean Chen!
Dr. Chen’s research agenda includes teaching and learning in PE, teacher training, and curriculum/program effectiveness.

She also has given 42 activity and research presentations at state and national conferences since 2012. She is an advocate for pushing PE as an academic subject in the K-12 school system, for promoting physical activity in public/private-schooled and homeschooled children and youth, and for the success and development of First Gen and LGBTQIA+ college students.
