Throughout the regular academic year, a seminar series is co-sponsored by the Graduate Program and the Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute. The seminars are designed to provide a forum for the presentation of recent findings by Research Affiliates, Visiting Scholars, and small grant recipients to the public, students, faculty and staff.

Seminar topics are diverse, and in the course of one month have ranged from physical activity and cancer prevention and management, to the experiences behind transcribing the oral stories of the Dene People in Canada’s north into a kind of socio-geographic book.

To enhance graduate student familiarity with research, every student must attend a minimum of eight research presentations sponsored by the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute during the first two years of their graduate program. Attendance is monitored and is a requirement for graduation.
