Alumni Spotlight

"The CBU kinesiology program allows the student to focus on the essentials of movement anatomy, physiology, and the psychological aspects of sports. Though this provides the student with the mastery required to hit the work field running, the best part about CBU’s kinesiology program is the integrated faith. Prior to CBU, I had never applied faith and academics, nor did I know about the benefits of doing so. The vision embedded into the kinesiology program is not just educating the student on the health benefits of cardiovascular exercises and strength training, but more importantly, how we can be stewards of God by spreading the message that movement is a blessing that God has given us and should therefore be our opportunity to not only love through our words but also through our actions."

Trevor Gillum

Professor

I grew up in rural Oklahoma. As a boy, I dreamed of being the incarnation of both Troy Aikman and Wayne Gretzky. Unfortunately, my build more closely resembles Steve Rogers pre-transformation into Captain America. Alas, since a career as the first ever hockey/football star was not meant to be, I stumbled into academia where I study how exercise impacts the immune system.
