"My time as a physical education student at UCM was one of the most challenging and stimulating times of my life. The physical education program at UCM challenged the way I viewed physical education and allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for physical educators. For that, I will be forever indebted to my alma mater." Chris Rhea, Physical Education, K-12, class of 2002 |

"The education I received at UCM was superior to other students that I met later at University of Kansas Medical Center; those students attended other well known programs including the University of Missouri and Kansas State University. I was further along in my education and knowledge of clinical dietetics than most of my classmates." Emily Mertensmeyer, class of 2004 |

"As a young professor, I had a head start concerning the teaching experience; many of my colleagues didn't have a full teaching experience like I did. My classes at UCM gave me the challenge to critically examine research, which deepened my understanding of the scientific process. Now, as a scientist, I fully appreciate the development of a research project and the examination of others' research publications." Charles Robison, M.S. Kinesiology Exercise Science, class of 2006 |

"Pursuing a specialized master's degree in Athletic and Sport Business Administration has allowed me to expand my career goals. With this degree and what I learned, I have all the tools necessary to be an athletic director. Without my advanced degree, I would not have this opportunity." Shawn Jones, M.S. in Kinesiology Sport Management, class of 2011 |

"My experiences as a UCM student prepared me for my career by getting me into the field and out of the classroom. I was treated as a professional and had the expectations of a professional." Nick Wagenknecht, class of 2010 |
