What should you look for in an exercise science program?

Look for more than a strong curriculum. Look for opportunities to put what you’re learning into practice, work with real equipment, participate in research, build relationships with faculty and gain experience that prepares you for what comes next.

That’s what makes the experience at Lakeland different.

Our exercise science students can earn up to 25% of their degree through paid Cooperative Education experiences, conduct undergraduate research alongside faculty and work with equipment used in real-world exercise science and human performance settings. Lakeland students have also had a 100% graduate and professional school acceptance rate over the past six years.

It’s an education designed to connect the classroom to real experience and give students a strong foundation for wherever they want to go next.

A Lakeland education helped the late Ronald Scheele build a career in science and healthcare. Now, his legacy will help future students do the same.

The 1966 Lakeland graduate left a $1 million gift through his estate to support science programs at Lakeland. Half will establish the Ronald Scheele Memorial Scholarship for students pursuing degrees in the basic sciences, while the other half will support science and healthcare innovation, including program development, equipment and capital projects.

Scheele never forgot the scholarships that helped make his Lakeland education possible. His gift is a meaningful way to pay that support forward for the next generation of students.

Lakeland University is expanding pathways for students in Luxembourg to pursue a Lakeland education — while creating new opportunities for Lakeland students to experience Luxembourg.

Through strengthened and new partnerships with the University of Luxembourg and École d'Hôtellerie et de Tourisme du Luxembourg - EHTL, students at our partner institutions can explore opportunities to continue their education at Lakeland, including pathways to a Lakeland degree.

At the same time, Lakeland students can take advantage of opportunities to study in Luxembourg and gain international experience as part of their Lakeland education.

These partnerships connect students and institutions across borders, creating new opportunities to learn, build relationships and experience different cultures and perspectives.

It’s another example of how a Lakeland education extends beyond the classroom — and beyond campus.

Homecoming was a chance to reconnect, celebrate and recognize the people who have helped shape Lakeland over the years.

We also welcomed the newest members of the Emeritus Club — the Class of 1976. The club recognizes Mission House and Lakeland College alumni who graduated at least 50 years ago.

Dennis and Jeanie (Kurka) Reimer ’74 ’77 blossomed during their time at Lakeland.

From their campus involvement and leadership to the strong support they received from folks like Prof. J. Garland Schilcutt, their Lakeland days set them up for future success.

Now, through the Dennis and Jeanie Kurka Reimer Scholarship, they are creating a pathway to a Lakeland degree for current Muskies.

Dennis said, “It’s an appreciation of what we got back in those days that created this foundation of who we are today. These students are experiencing the same things we did, the family environment and the support they’re getting.”
