This year’s event was cosponsored by the office of theDean of Inclusive Excellence andthe Center for Gender Equity.This event is made possibleeach year through the supportof Dean McConnell and, in thepast two years, Associate DeanPapadopoulos. Though each yearhas brought new and excitingtopics and a 3-year average of 93people in attendance, this year’sevent was one for the recordbooks. It was a highly anticipatedevent across campus fromthe moment the speaker wasannounced.The 2020distinguishedspeaker wasSarah Klein,an attorney,advocate, andthe first-knownsurvivor ofsexual predatorand disgraced former USAGymnastics team doctor, LarryNassar. PLU and the departmentbenefitted greatly from theprofessional acumen Dr. Hackerleveraged to bring such ahighly respected and soughtafter speaker to campus. Theirfriendship and professionalinteractions were the solereason Sarah chose to speakat this year’s event. Thank you,Dr. Hacker! Sarah shared herpersonal story of survival andactivism and how she foundmeaning and purpose from aDr. Colleen Hacker with Sarah Klein and John Manly.tragic experience to inspire andengage everyone in the roomthat evening.In a Seattle Times articlepublished before the event, Kleinnoted that her goal was to useher vulnerability to “leave everyperson in that audience changedin some way.” Over 215 students,faculty, staff, and communitymembers in attendance wouldmost certainly attest that shereached her goal that evening.A post-event survey completedby 103 randomly selectedstudents in attendancesupported the success of theevent. When asked “how wouldyou rate this event,” on a 5-pointLikert scale (with five being thehighest possible score), students’responded with an average of 4.9and said that it impacted themsignificantly as both a futureprofessional and human being.The following qualitativeresponses speak to students’highlights and takeaways fromthis year’s event:“I was moved by how openSarah was about her wholestory, despite discomfortand seeing how much she ispushing for change.”“Listening to her story mademe realize how much of adifference one person canmake.”“It was most impactfulwhen “[Sarah] said that thememory never goes away buthappiness is still achievableand that she doesn’t blamemen–that 90% are the ‘goodguys.’”continued on page 2PLU Kinesiology 20201
Kinesiology Newsletter I EventsAdapted Physical ActivitySARAH KLINEcontinued from page 1STUDY AWAY CLASS“Sarah’s story andopenness impacted methe most tonight. Sheoffered a valuable andimportant perspectivethat will stick with mefor the rest of my life. Ican apply these lessonsin my relationships andcareer.”“A genuine, real storyabout something awfulthat can be preventedthrough reform. I lovedhow Ms. Klein viewssexual abuse as a humanproblem, not the victims’problem.”Dr. Mann, who createdthe introductory videoto provide context forSarah’s talk and ran theevent behind the scenes,wanted to recognize theentire department for theircontribution to the eventand their encouragementof their own students toattend. She also wanted tospecifically recognize a fewstudents’ contributions. Theevent would not have beenpossible without help from:Hurricane Corliss, MeaganMansfield, Will Reichel,and Katie Shaw. With theutmost professionalismand personal responsibility,these four studentsarrived early to help setup for the event and directnotable alumni to a preevent reception. They alsovolunteered to stay afterthe event to help clean up.Without being asked ordirected, these studentsconsistently noticed smalladjustments that needed tobe made, and they steppedup to the challenge. THIS is#TEAMKINS2PLU Kinesiology 2020The J-Term Adopted Physical Activity Class posing in front of the Cologne Cathedral during theirvisit to Cologne Germany.2020 was the first year of theJ-term Adapted Physical ActivityStudy Away course to Germanyand England. The class wasdesigned to increase students’overall awareness, knowledge,and perception of individualswith disabilities. In addition, theclass compared American societyand disability with Germany andEngland society and disability’s.Our “home base” during thefirst leg of the class was Bonn,Germany. While in Bonn, theclass spent time with AnnikaZeyen, a World Champion andParalympic multi-medal winner.The class was also able to visitthe German Sports and OlympicMuseum, Beethoven’s birthhouse, the Cologne Cathedral,and a Paralympic training site inLeverkusen. After seven days inGermany, the class took a trainto London, England. While inLondon the class navigated thestreets blindfolded to experiencelife visually impaired, visitedBuckingham Palace, visited theBritish Museum, crossed AbbeyRoad and became very familiarwith navigating the city using theUnderground. The final leg of thetrip took the class to Worcester,England and the campus ofWorcester University. During ourvisit to Worcester University, theclass was able to visit multipleDisability and Sport Major classesand experience and learn twoadapted sports: wheelchairbasketball and blind soccer.The fourteen students wereamazing. Throughout the class,they were patient, inquisitive,and understanding. The studentsand all of the people they visitedduring the three weeks abroadtruly made the Study Awayexperience remarkable.“I was most excited to see mypeers and classmates becomefired up about justice forindividuals with disabilitiesand brainstorm new ways forthinking about how our spacesare organized. Students leavethis program pondering whatthey can do today as well as inthe future as professionals toinclude everyone in the pursuit ofhealthier and better lives.”–Nate Adams“Studying Adapted Physicalactivity in Europe and the UKwas a completely unique andunforgettable experience!Studying away allowed us tolearn by experiencing otherstandards of inclusivity outsideof PLU and the United States,rather than learn about them ina classroom. I am so grateful forthis opportunity, thanks to Dr.Katica!”–Grace Deskin
