The Twin Cities Pioneer Press has profiled the School of Kinesiology’s China Champion Program, in a local story, “Homeroom: China’s champs hit the books at UMN.” The China Champion Program brings former Olympians from China to study in the school for a year, providing classes in English as a second language, American culture and kinesiology as well as nutrition, sports management and physical education instruction. Dr. Li Li Ji, department director and professor and director of the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene and Exercise Science (LPHES), heads up the program.
