Personal Statement: In my role as the Ware Distinguished Professor in the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences at West Virginia University, I have been charged with leading service initiatives to improve the health and well-being of the citizens of WV. Over the past nine years I have provided leadership in developing and implementing the first WV Physical Activity Plan (), in organizing two WV Physical Activity Symposiums, in developing and implementing two county initiatives to improve physical activity participation and healthy living in children, adolescents, and families ( and ), and in working with overweight children and their families to improve healthy lifestyles, and therefore, health status, of WV families ( and ). I have developed Active Academics (), a web-based teacher resource to include physical activity in the PreK-5 classroom, and a web-based instructional module for MS/HS, Take Charge! Be Healthy!
