Ren-Jay Shei, Ph.D. student in the Department of Kinesiology was recently awarded the President’s Diversity Doctoral Scholar Award.
The President’s Diversity Doctoral Scholars Program is designed to prepare more minority Ph.D. students who seek careers as college faculty. The program provides multiple layers of support including career counseling, job postings, counseling and advocacy, a scholar directory for networking and recruiting, invitation to attend the Institute on Teaching and Mentoring, and career support for pre-candidacy doctoral students.
Shei, whose research interests include human performance, fatigue, and respiratory physiology, will specifically explore the implications of exercising with a load on the chest cavity (such as while wearing a backpack or protective vest) on performance for his dissertation.
