Purpose

Areas of development such as neuromuscular skill, organic fitness, intellectual awareness, social concern, emotional release, and spiritual formations will be emphasized. God created man as an integrated whole being, and the professionals in this division are afforded a great opportunity to reach all aspects of the whole person.
