Steve McKenzie, PhD, MEd, clinical assistant professor of kinesiology, comes to the school from Purdue University, where he served as a continuing lecturer in the departments of nutritional sciences and health and kinesiology. It started with students from all of our majors participating in Super Bowl XLVI. While completing her PhD in Nutritional Sciences at Purdue, Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor Kara Egan, MPH, will teach nutrition and oversee all of the school's nutrition course offerings.
Our students embraced this offer and in the summer of 2012 our number of registrations increased by more than ten percent. Ultimately, we decided that the role of our school was to provide a holistic experience (including campus and community involvement) that optimally prepares students for life during and after college. Fortunately, you can be proud that our students are regularly challenged to expand their learning process through practice-oriented learning projects.
Added value” – that is the catchphrase behind curriculum changes in the departments of tourism, conventions and event management (TCEM) and kinesiology. In TCEM, a program review about five years ago identified new trends that needed to be incorporated into the curriculum.

Event planners across the IUPUI campus are getting valuable tips on how to make campus events more environmentally friendly thanks to a new program developed by the Department of Tourism, Conventions and Event Management (TCEM). The IUPUI Events Going Green Project is funded through a Greening IUPUI Grant from the university's Office of Sustainability. Our campus hosts hundreds of events each year, yet there is little, if any, information on 'green event' best practices," says Amanda Cecil, PhD, CMP, associate professor and TCEM undergraduate program director and member of campus'.
Workshops cover general best practices; sustainable purchasing and contracting practices; the use of technology to strive for 'paperless' events; selection of food and drinks; and strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle them. A resource guide for IUPUI event planners with checklists, sample requests for proposals, and metrics.

Jay Bradley, MEd, LAT, ATC, the kinesiology department internship coordinator, works hard to make connections within the community to ensure successful internships for all involved. The rest I found by either researching various occupations or by having the students actually bring me contact names. Similarly, Amy Vaughan is the Department of Tourism, Conventions and Events Management (TCEM) Internship Coordinator, and.
We want to continue to build relationships with local tourism organizations interested in working with interns!”. Our average is approximately 20 percent of all interns who are hired by the facility where they interned. You might think that's low, but it really isn't, as a majority of our students, especially those in all the exercise science fields, go on to high school."
This is only a partial list and is one that also reaches beyond the Hoosier borders with Walt Disney World and the Toronto Blue Jays. Lisa Angermeier, PhD, CHES, health educator in the kinesiology department, and Carol Roland, NCAA Travel and Insurance Coordinator—and IUPUI alum—are an example of a successful local partnership beyond practices. Carol hosted an amazing panel of professionals from the NCAA to talk to the students about their careers and professional paths.
The students had a great time and really enjoyed the interactive activities in the museum.”. Outside of our professors and the short time we got to work with physical education students, that was our only exposure to teaching, students, and career opportunities. I believe this is a great opportunity to give new students the opportunity to figure out what they would like to do or what path they would like to take if they had no idea yet.
Perhaps the best example of IUPUI creating some magic with programs like this, Jay Bradley shared something he hears often: “Every supervisor I use has told me the same thing – our students are very well prepared, better than other interns at everything Holy. country. Not to brag,” he says, “but three or four years ago one of my facility supervisors was hired by another university in the country to compare their curriculum to ours because they were sick of their students coming back to campus and saying , that the IUPUI students were better prepared and more knowledgeable than them!”.

Post or Look for a Job
The unemployment rate is creeping back, Indiana leaders are announcing new jobs for the state, and the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management (PETM) at IUPUI is doing its part by launching a job site to benefit the school's alumni and alumni. students. However, the difference is key: "If employers have a position open to anyone with a bachelor's degree, they can post an opening at IUPUITalent.net, which posts to multiple schools."
The PETM Careers website is a similar website that most IUPUI schools have to host employment opportunities. One of the most recent is Indiana's statewide "Smoke-Free Air Act," which went into effect last July. The law prohibits smoking in public places, in the workplace, in certain government vehicles and within eight feet of public entrances.
Also in 2012, Indianapolis expanded its smoking ban to include bars in some parts of Marion County. With evidence on the dangers of smoking and second-hand smoke accumulating over the past four decades, there is no doubt that the smoking ban has merit from a health perspective." Barton believes the ban helps raise awareness of the staggering number of health risks attributed to smoking.
The debate about whether smoking should be allowed in public places has become part of the national dialogue. As evidence of the negative health effects of smoking and secondhand smoke continues to pile up, local and state governments have taken up the issue, resulting in a number of smoking bans in Indiana and across the country. The other side of the smoking ban debate is whether these bans have a negative impact on businesses, especially restaurants and tourist spots.
Cities like Chicago and New York City didn't see a drop in restaurant sales after smoking bans began. In fact, according to Amy Vaughan, MS, assistant professor in the department of tourism, convention and event management and former director of tourism for the state of Indiana, a smoking ban is generally good for a state's tourism industry. When Indianapolis didn't have a smoking ban, it hurt our image with visitors, especially future convention groups," Vaughan says.
Not only does a smoking ban improve the image of a city or state, Vaughan believes it can help restaurants and other venues increase sales. Creating a smoke-free environment for the majority of residents undoubtedly makes financial sense for these businesses.”

WINTER COLLEGE 2013
FEBRUARY 22–24
Where applicable, honorary members or surviving relatives have been informed of your kindness by the IU Foundation. Everyone wants to be remembered for something important, but not everyone wants to be remembered the same way. With a little planning, you can leave a lasting legacy while supporting the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management (PETM) or Camp Brosius by naming them as beneficiaries in your will.
By leaving a gift to PETM, you maintain control over your gift as your life circumstances change. You do not need to set aside assets during your lifetime to finance a legacy. So all your assets will be available to help you adapt to, for example, unstable employment or new healthcare needs. Because your legacy is fully revocable, you can change the size of your donation or cancel your donation entirely at any time during your lifetime.
Bequests are as unique as you are and can be tailored to your specific situation. Giving the residue of your estate leaves whatever is left after your other named beneficiaries have received their legacies, even if that means there is little left. By giving to PETM through a bequest your estate will benefit from a charitable tax deduction.
Since this deduction has no limit, your estate will repay every dollar of your gift if estate tax is owed. A gift agreement is a simple, revocable document that explains exactly how you would like your gift to be used when it is funded upon your death. By documenting your intentions in a gift agreement, separate from your will, you can change your mind about how your gift will be used during your lifetime without having to consult your attorney.
Every event is free for PETM alumni, including the Doc Hendley Lecture and the Cultural Tourism Conference. Do you have a current career-related topic that you would like to discuss with professors and/or other former students.
