Department Graduation 2026
The Health Sciences department graduation ceremony was on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00pm in the Rec. Center gym. Everything went smoothly except there were problems with the AC prior to the ceremony, so things were a little hot. This year we had our majors sit alphabetically to speed up the process. Our Chair, Brennan Harris, started off almost on time. He introduced the faculty and staff of the department and gave some introductory words before introducing our Major of the Year, Sofia Istnick, who then gave her speech. Both are below. The department had 130 graduates for 2026 and 115 walked. Overall, there were 109 Kinesiology majors (KINE), 12 Public Health majors (PBHL), and 9 Human Health & Physiology majors (HHP) who graduated. With the new name change, this was the first year the Health Sciences department had majors walking and the first group of our newly designed majors graduated.
