What do our students and alumni say? Here are some comments about the physical education major at DWU.

Tiff Bottum – “My favorite part of this major was when we started the education classes and had to come up with P.E. lessons and teach them in class. I liked the observations that we got to do in the local and area schools because it helps me in managing my classroom and teaching style”. – 7th grade history teacher and head girls’ basketball and volleyball coach in Kansas

Emily Vaughn – “As a student in Physical Education I enjoy the students and the physical activities that I get to be around every day. I love the fact that I get to interact with adults, young adults and children all of the time. I am so happy I chose this as my occupation, as I look forward to going to work everyday! Two major doors have opened up for me and they are the opportunity to coach three different sports and to work on my master’s degree.” – 7-12th grade health and physical education teacher, head volleyball coach, junior high boys’ basketball coach, and assistant junior high track coach in Tilden, Nebr.

Laura Weiers – “I really enjoyed working with the entire physical education staff. They played a large part in my decision to attend graduate school for physical therapy in Arizona.”

Bryan Fuks – “What I really enjoyed about the major was the opportunity to go out into the schools and teach the children. I also got lucky enough to have the chance to coach boys’ basketball while I was student teaching.” – working on a degree in nuclear medicine
