Exercise Science Curriculum Changes

 EXERCISE SCIENCE CURRICULUM CHANGES

Exercise science has gotten approval for some curriculum changes moving forward that provide more flexibility for our students.  An EXS advising document is attached – please take a close look.  For rising seniors, based on what you have completed – you may choose to stay on the old catalog or switch to the new catalog.  We’ll work with you to ensure we find the best option for you.

 

These changes have been approved and will be in the 2025-2026 JMU catalog.  However, they are not reflected in the 2024-2025 JMU catalog – so you will not be able to see them online until this summer/fall.

Fitness Specialist employment, Fishersville, VA

 My name is Tanya Besmehn and I’m the Fitness Coordinator at Augusta Health Fitness, a state-of-the-art fitness, tennis, and aquatic center here in Fishersville, VA. We are located just 3 miles from Stanton, VA. I currently have positions open for Fitness Specialists. While a degree is preferred, it is not required, so students currently pursuing degrees or certifications are eligible for employment.

I wonder if you might put out the word to the students in Kinesiology at JMU, both present and past who might be in search of a great fitness opportunity. Please give them my contact information and let them know I’d love to discuss these open positions with them.

 

Thank you so much.

 

Kind regards,

Tanya Besmehn
