Senior Daniel Lever, the president of S.H.A.P.E. club, invited three guest speakers in the medical, physical therapy and physical education fields to give lectures in a professional development seminar week.
“I exhausted my resources online and through word of mouth,” Lever said of trying to find speakers.
Lever said this week was designed to help students whose majors are science, health, athletic training, physical education and exercise science, (which is where the club gets its name) to learn more about the field.
