Dow College of Health Professions at CMU is a professional graduate curriculum three years in length. Graduates of the program are awarded a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT).

On April 17th MTU’s Graduate Student Government (GSG) along with the UP and Moving Program in the Department of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology will host a live virtual 5km event at 10am. The event is free and open to students, staff, faculty, and community members from near and far!
Join us at 10am on Zoom for a warm-up, welcome activity, and photo! The virtual 5km will consist of two different ways to participate. Follow along with us on Zoom for a fun and exciting movement-based workout that will accumulate the total number of steps needed to cover the 5k distance. Alternatively, walk, run, or hike your own 5k outdoors or indoors.
The event is a joint celebration of GSG’s “A Night Out” and UP and Moving’s 100th live home-based workout.
For those individuals that cannot make the live virtual event, the 5km distance can be completed anytime between April 10-24th. Registered participants can receive a free t-shirt. For more information visit the UP andMoving website and click here for the GSG registration link.
It is becoming more important for everyone to “move more” and “sit less” because regular physical activity promotes good health and bolsters immune function. #KIPMichTech #UPandMoving #HRI_MTU #superiorideas #ExerciseisMedicine @ACSMEIM

To help contain the spread of COVID-19, both on campus and in the local community, Michigan Tech has recruited and trained a team of student volunteers who help the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department (WUPHD) by conducting contact tracing in our campus community. The team is led by Dr. Kelly Kamm, an epidemiologist and Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology. Dr. Kamm is also part of the MTU Flex team.
