HPE has become KES
The UHH program of Health and Physical Education (HPE) has become the Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences (KES) program. Since we offer much more than just health and physical education, it is important that our name represents who we are. Since many of our students are receiving their educations with an emphasis on health science and research, the name change is necessary. Kinesiology (kinesis meaning meaning motion in Greek) has been a well-received caption for many college programs globally and so we are proud to don this name.
