So excited about Dr. Scherezade Mama's opportunity to share the importance of promoting physical activity among underserved populations with our friends at Iowa State University!

Iowa State University faculty and students in kinesiology — dedicated to promoting physical activity, health and well-being — say they recognize diversity is sometimes lacking in their field. They’re working to address the issue. The kinesiology diversity committee will this week bring to campus Scherezade Mama from Penn State. She'll give a public lecture about physical activity promotion among underserved populations 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1 in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. http://bit.ly/2FBfRj6
