Lauren Cavanaugh, PhD, assistant professor of kinesiology, presents “Can Surfing Affect the Social Skills of Students with Autism?” The seminar series is free and open to all who wish to attend.

This presentation will provide a brief description of the surf camp, its curriculum, as well as a review of the research.
An additional seminar entitled, “Professional Options Available as a Health/Wellness Professional” will be presented by Chuck Pelitera, MS, CSCS on Thursday, April 19.
