Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Health and Human Performance (HEHP) website.  I hope you find the information you require. If not, please contact me (mickflyn@cofc.edu)  the department chair , one of our fine staff members (Harriet Mazyck, mazyckm@cofc.edu) or Nancy Phelps, phelpsn@cofc.edu), or a faculty member in your area. 

Please take a few moments to watch our department video and note the tag line Get Involved.  This phrase was originally intended to highlight the many  opportunities for students to get involved in research, internships, and service in our department.  The longer I work in the department  , the more  I  realize that getting involved  is  a way of life for our faculty and students.  HEHP students and faculty are actively involved in the lives of College of Charleston  students and Charleston  area citizens.  This involvement is a critical part of the overall learning process and provides an exclamation point for the HEHP student experience.  

Health and Human Performance faculty members also help students make the Teaching and Learning Connection in our Athletic Training and Physical Education (concentrations in Exercise Science, Health Promotion, and Teacher Education) majors.  Our graduates teach, work in clinical settings, or enter graduate programs in HEHP areas, allied health, and medicine.   Come and share the passion our faculty has for  these exciting areas  of study.
