Thanks to a generous gift from a Cornelia couple, the William J. and Lois J. Shortt Graduate Fellowship has been created in the department of kinesiology. “The gift from the Shortts to support a graduate fellowship will help us to recruit the very best students to study and do research with our faculty,” said Kirk Cureton, head of the department of kinesiology. “This type of support provides the margin of difference in developing an outstanding department known for its innovative contributions and leadership in the field of kinesiology. The faculty are extremely appreciative of the generosity of the Shortts and their support of the department.”
