KPE’s Olivia Pastore discusses the importance of recognizing World Spine Day
Taking place on October 16 each year, World Spine Day highlights the importance of spinal health and well-being, as well as recognizing the burden of spinal pain and disability around the world. KPE’s Olivia Pastore, 3rd year PhD Candidate in the Theories and Interventions in Exercise and Health Psychology (TIE) laboratory, says that this day is important to recognize as an estimated one billion people worldwide suffer from spinal pain.
Looking ahead to the 2022-2023 year with KPEG President, Sarkis Hannaian
Following a tumultuous past few years amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022-2023 school year promises to be an exciting time with students back on campus for in-person learning. Sarkis Hannaian, 3rd year PhD Candidate and this year’s KPE graduate (KPEG) committee president, is certainly looking forward to the resumption of research at full capacity without COVID-19 related restrictions.
Reflecting on World Mental Health Day with KPE's Jason Dellatolla
‘Make mental health & well-being for all a global priority’ is this year’s World Mental Health Day’s (October 10th) main message. While the pandemic has, and continues to, take a toll on our mental health, it is of even greater importance to recognize this day and to seek any opportunity to re-kindle our efforts to protect and improve mental health.
