Wellness

Wellness Theory (KINES 81) is a course designed to explore the cognitive foundations of wellness as well as physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual components. Students explore health benefits of exercise, diet, and cardiovascular wellness, along with the management of lifestyle change and personal responsibility to achieve wellness across the lifespan. By examining theories of human health behavior, students will be able to analyze personal health behavior and gain understanding of the importance of prevention. Students may participate in collaborative learning activities related to health care ethics, public health and safety issues, and issues related to health information on the internet. 

Interpersonal Communication (CAS 203) is a course designed to explore the complexities of interpersonal communication and to develop a repertoire of interpersonal communication skills.  The phenomenon called interpersonal communication encompasses the complexities of interaction between people in any of a variety of situations. The expectations people form prior to a conversation, the messages that they produce using language and nonverbal cues, the ways in which they attach meaning to the behaviors of others, and the systemic qualities of the dyad are all part of interpersonal communication. And interpersonal communication occurs in contexts as varied as strangers sharing a seat on a bus, neighbors passing each other in the street, college roommates or married couples coordinating their lives, and co-workers negotiating office politics. In the home, at school, at work, and in public, interpersonal communication is an intricate process that weaves the fabric of our lives as social beings.
