Kelsi Becker, Health Promotion and Education, Assistant Professor
Exercise science and public health professor Kelsi Becker cares deeply about her students -- and it shows. Her greatest joy is in getting to know them as individuals and helping them reach their full potential. She understands that college can be a huge developmental transition for some students, and it’s easy to get stuck in cycles of isolation from one another. As a professor, Kelsi is determined to break her students out of their shells and show them the joy that can come with learning. She uses popular activities like Fit Fridays, Speed Dating and Minute to Win It exam reviews to get students moving and building relationships with classmates.
