Phillip Tomporowski, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, believes great things start to happen when university outreach extends academic resources to meet community needs.
In recognition of his efforts, Tomporowski is the 2016 recipient of the Engaged Scholar Award, presented annually by the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach since 2008.The award recognizes a full-time, tenured faculty member for significant contributions in public service, outreach, and community service.
Since 2007, Tomporowski and his colleague Bryan McCullick, have partnered with the Clarke County School District on evaluating the effects of specialized afterschool programs focused on physical activity, mathematics, and reading.
