"As a student who had previously tried 3 other majors, I really enjoyed the welcome I received in my first  Sports Management class. The professor asked questions that I had never been asked before and really made me think about my future. My advisor always wants to make sure everything is going right and if I need anything. Every professor I have had in the Kinesiology and Sports Sciences department have always stressed that students should not hesitate to reach out for help if needed. Everyone at UNK is always rooting for you."
