Kinesiology with a minor in hands-on experience Dennis Dumphy | Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology Current Kinesiology student, Dennis, isn’t sure what he wants to do when he graduates, but he feels like he’ll be prepared when he makes his big decision. That’s because as a student at Lakehead, he’s had the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience, teach an anatomy lab for nursing students, and help mark papers and exams. It’s these experiences that he wouldn’t have had at a bigger university that make him look forward to his future career, whatever it may be. 39
