NAKPEHE Project

NAKPEHE MISSION STATEMENT: The National Association for Kinesiology and Physical Education in Higher Education is an organization for professionals in higher education. Its purpose is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary ideas, concepts, and issues related to the role of kinesiology and physical education in higher education with respect for social, cultural, and personal perspectives.

This a project supported by the National Association for Kinesiology and Physical Education in Higher Education (NAKPEHE) intended to share some of the best practices from experts teaching at institutes of higher educations.  This site is intended to be a resource for those professionals looking for innovative and interesting idea designs in the multiple disciplines shared under the NAKPEHE umbrella.  The ideas shared within this website are currently in use at colleges/universities across the United States.  All submissions have been peer reviewed by the Editorial Board of College Connections. The goal of College Connections is to provide information to college & university kinesiology & physical education faculty to assist them in their daily work. We look for ideas and activities that identify a need and offer practical ways to support and enhance classroom instruction.  College Connections does not publish research or theoretical studies, but does welcome ideas and activities to explain how research or theory can be applied or put into practice.
