*To propose a program for the 2016 NAKHE Conference, provide the following
information*:
Title of proposed program:
A 500 word (max) summary of your proposed program:
A statement of significance describing the professional impact associated with your proposal
and how it fits into the overall theme:
Briefly describe what strategies you plan to use (i.e. technologies, interaction, break-out
sessions, to foster collegial discussion and critical thinking about the theme you will
address).
*The theme of this year’s conference focuses on how to prepare our profession in the midst of a host of
societal, economic, and political changes that have challenged the notion of stewardship. Your
submission should relate to kinesiology in higher education*:
My proposal addresses the following program track, related to kinesiology in higher
education: (Please check appropriate box)
Development –In the current era of globalization, organizations such as NAKHE have had to
think broader about it’s purpose particularly as it relates to engaging other constituencies.
Presentations under this track report or imagine ways that schools, departments and universities
have incorporated a more global approach to kinesiology related professions in higher education.
Industrialism- It has been suggested that the fundamental philosophy of the market economy
and “profit” is in conflict with the academic and moral purpose of the university. Presentations
under this track discuss the ethics and dilemmas associated with the business of higher education
and the business of assisting the community. Are both of these entities destined to compete? Are
there synergies between these entities that can be useful and replicated on a broader scale?
Stewardship of Intercollegiate Athletics- Presentations under this track should provide insight on
the role of higher education in intercollegiate athletics. Discourse can include (but are not limited to)
partnerships, social, moral, and ethical considerations, space usage, program offerings, student athlete
rights in the university, and leadership.
Interdisciplinary – Presentations under this track cover a range of topics relative to the theme
of mentoring and stewardship. These can include (but are not limited to) models, research, current
topics, leadership development, strategic planning and implementation.
Diversity, Inclusiveness, and Social Justice –It is undeniable that issues of difference and
access will help to shape what higher education will look like in the next few decades. What can
national organizations, schools, departments and universities do to dissolve existing infrastructure
and help frame a realizable vision for the future. What is the power of stewardship and leadership
in this respect?
Technology- We are in an era of technology that connects millions in an unprecedented fashion.
How can organizations take technology and use it for the benefit of existing programs and
communities? Further, how can technology further development kinesiology related professions
and the professionals involved in these endeavors?
(There is some flexibility within these topics, please choose the theme that best fits your proposal)
