Summary
We bring you a special edition of Conqu'ring Heroes this week, as Jon presided over a panel discussion at Saturday's Spring Game Celebration Donor Appreciation Event. The discussion focused on the Human Performance & Sport Science (HPSSC) Athlete Innovation Lab, a new laboratory that is integrated within the Michigan Athletics Department as part of a strategic framework to elevate the sport science experiences at U-M to a level that will position the institution as an international leader in educational and research opportunities in this rapidly-advancing field. Panel participants included Ken Kozloff, PhD (HPSSC Co-Director), Nora Boerger (Assistant Coach, Women’s Lacrosse), Laila Kostorowski (student-athlete, Women’s Lacrosse), and Skylar Reynolds (master’s student who works in the HPSSC lab).
