K-State 2025 Strategic Action and Alignment Plan
College or Major Unit: Human Ecology
Department: Kinesiology
1. What are your Department’s mission and vision and how does your organization contribute to achieving the University’s and your
College’s/Major Unit’s vision for K-State 2025?
Mission: The Department of Kinesiology mission is the study and application of physical activity for optimal health.
Vision: Kansas State University will house a top 10 ranked kinesiology department in the U.S. by 2025.
2. What are your Department’s key strategic activities and outcomes? This plan includes links to both College outcomes and University metrics.
3. Identify [in brackets] which of your Department’s strategic outcomes are directly linked to your College’s/Major Unit’s outcomes. (If your
Department or similar unit is not in a College or Major Unit, skip this question.) This plan includes links to both College outcomes (e.g., R-1)
and University metrics ([e.g., B1, T1-2, etc.]).

4a. What resources and/or opportunities exist for your Department to achieve its vision and outcomes?
Kinesiology’s move to Human Ecology and the establishment of a Ph.D. program will qualify the department to participate in national ranking.
There are few universities with that have Kinesiology, Nutrition, Dietetics, Family Studies/Human Services and Public Health programs, which
places the College of Human Ecology and Kinesiology in a competitive advantage for faculty and graduate student recruitment. Establishment
of research facilities and centers to support interdisciplinary collaboration on important food, physical activity, and public health problems is
central to a land grant mission.
K-State 2025 Strategic Action and Alignment Plan for Kinesiology
June 2013
4b. What resources and/or opportunities are needed for your Department to achieve its vision and outcomes?
Kinesiology’s move to the College of Human Ecology provides a platform for growth in Ph.D. students, extramural funding, and national
ranking. Improvements to facilities and strategies to deal with undergraduate enrollment growth through increased faculty lines or enrollment
management (which would decrease tuition revenue) need to be defined.
5. How do you propose to acquire the resources needed for your Department to accomplish its vision and outcomes?
Kinesiology is in high demand for undergraduate and graduate education. A University department funding formula that is more directly based
on tuition revenue would fund enhanced activity. Kinesiology research and outreach is in high demand by NIH, USDA, health foundations, and
the general public. The Department has a history of receiving extramural funding. Minimal university investment in base funding would have a
high return on investment. Kinesiology’s move to Human Ecology should provide the opportunity to increase fundraising due to increased
support from Foundation staff.
