Despite its amenities, TCEM chairman Sotiris Hji-Avgoustis says it is not well known outside of Kenya. Everyone we met – the people who worked and lived at HATC, the tribes of people we visited, students and professors from Moi University – each one was so friendly and genuine. They are always surprised by how much more difficult the operations are in real life – the movies make it look so glamorous,” says Cecil with a laugh.
Case study methods linked to classroom teaching are a traditional academic approach, but 'the field' is where academics meet reality.
At IU’s Camp Brosius
If you're one of the lucky few, you might be cast on NBC's The Biggest Loser. If you have disposable income, live in an upscale neighborhood, and have access to a car, you can join a gym or hire a personal trainer. But if your income and transportation are limited, you'll likely struggle to exercise and lose weight.
Now that solution has received a $90,000 grant from the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation to evaluate and improve it. Thanks to a partnership between PETM and the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), participating community members pay just $20 annually to train at George Washington, Howe and Manual high schools. Students and staff from those schools exercise for free, as do community members with physician referrals.

Grant to Evaluate, Enhance PETM’s Community Fitness Program
Seven years ago, IU's School of Physical Education and Tourism Management (PETM) stepped in with a solution for many low-income Indianapolis residents. Deryl, who works out regularly with his wife Theresa and mother-in-law, plans to lose another 25 thanks to the program. This award provides a valuable opportunity for our school and the PARCS program,” said Jay Gladden, Dean of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management.
The Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation is committed to improving the health of underserved populations,” said Robert W. We are impressed with the PARCS program, are excited to be part of this proven partnership and want would like to improve and measure the results of the program. A 2004 IU School of Medicine GWCHS community health assessment identified a number of important health issues that physical activity could combat.
PARCS now provides nearly 500 physical education students each year who are employed in the program at three different schools. These students gain experience working outside of the classroom in a real-world, faculty-supervised environment. Marcy Kerr is a service learning assistant and has worked with the program for three years.
PARCS Impact: The Physical Education Student Perspective
Outside of the GWCHS area, 2010 data show that 29% of adults in Marion County, Indiana, are obese, and the county ranks 87/92 in health. Marcy states: “PARCS has given me a lot of confidence in working with new clients and in my own training skills.

When the alumni association began camp management in 1975," explains Gladden, "Camp Brosius became a place where IU alumni and their families could vacation and relax during the summer. My wife Lori and I both strongly believe the educational experience students get at Camp Brosius is very important to their overall maturation in college,” adds Nick. That's why the couple will continue to make contributions after Nick's retirement and have included the camp in their estate planning.
Editor's note: Planned gifts like Kellum's are a great way to ensure the future of Camp Brosius. To that end, the school is actively engaged in fundraising in hopes that the treasure that is Camp Brosius will remain alive for at least another century. These renovations are not only cosmetic, but structural and important to the continued success of the camp.
The pup's humble charity effort is the brainchild of his parents, Bobbi and Glenn Bosch, after a family camp experience at Camp Brosius last summer. Even as their son outgrows the playground, the Bosches know he will continue to enjoy trips to Camp Brosius for years to come. People who would like to support playground improvements can donate to the Brosius Camp Renovation Fund and put their money towards the project.
Playground Project Gives Youngster a Lesson in Philanthropy
And a dollar will go toward a fund for new playground equipment at Camp Brosius, which is one of Hayden's favorite places in the world. Hayden spent hours and hours at the camp's playground, Bobbi recalls, adding, "He loved that place like nothing I'd ever seen. We realized that a lot of kids could benefit from new equipment, so we decided to to make a commitment," says Bobbi.
According to Laura Klaum, director of development and external affairs for the PETM school, with enough pledges, new features like a whimsical nature-inspired tree house could be installed as early as 2011. Bobbi and Glenn — who are development and fundraising specialists in the IU system — say the decision to support the new playground was an easy choice. The new equipment will be something he can see and know he helped make possible.
The Bosches encourage IU families and friends to support the continued maintenance and improvements of the camp, which is nearly a century old. As we try to teach our son, if everyone donates even a little bit, the improvements can benefit everyone, without anyone having to bear too many costs,” says Glenn. Because our children love to play in the playground, we thought this was a unique way to help.

Some 2010 PETM Accomplishments: A Year in Review
Tony Kaleth, physical education, has published two book chapters in the American College of Sports Medicine's Resources for Clinical Exercise Physiology, 2nd Edition. Katie Stanton, physical education, received a grant from the Program Reviews Assessment Committee (PRAC) to develop a portfolio project to assess physical education students' content knowledge prior to their service experience. Katie Stanton, NiCole Keith and Mark Urtel, physical education, received an Engaged Department Grant from the Center for Service and Learning to better coordinate, connect and assess the diverse learning experiences of physical education and exercise science students.
Yao-Yi Fu, Amanda Cecil, and Sotiris Hji-Avgoustis, TCEM, received a related department grant from the Center for Service and Learning to expand TCEM's civic learning project efforts and link them to curricular enhancements. Yao-Yi Fu and Betty Jones, TCEM, collaborated with another IUPUI entity to receive an Integrating Department Grant. The purpose of the grant is to collect information on TCEM's implementation and assessment of the Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PLEs) and then develop rubrics for each PLE and implement assessment using IUPUI's ePortfolio technology.

They will come into effect in May 2011, when two six-day classes will be available, each with around 60 students. The adjustments align with the evolving mission of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management (PETM),” says Dean Jay Gladden. Gladden also acknowledges a very practical reason for changing the Brosius experience for PE students: capacity.
With approximately 600 students, we are one of the fastest growing programs at the university,” he says. Details of the new leadership development course will be worked out in early 2011, with input from the physical education faculty. The camp experience will be fun, challenging and highly focused,” Rude said, adding that the goal is to help students develop skills that can be applicable to a variety of careers.
Others include the lack of distraction and the chance for students to bond by living and working together. Nevertheless, shortening the camp experience from 17 to six days was, at least in part, a response to student feedback. Our hope is that six days will provide a valuable academic experience without interfering with students' personal lives.
Curriculum Changes Mean Briefer Time at Camp, More Focus on Leadership Skills
One of our priorities through 2013 is to offer the most advanced programs to prepare students for success after graduation. According to Gladden, the ROTC group, which is part of PETM, has developed a sophisticated and highly respected program for building leadership skills (see page 34). The ROTC program emphasizes behaviors and skills such as innovation, mental agility, and the ability to motivate and inspire.
The new course, like ROTC training, will allow students to test their skills in both physically and mentally challenging situations, says military science professor Tom Rude. The camp development course will be a good opportunity for our students because they will get practical experience.
