Waters College of Health Professions faculty receive nearly $30K grant for new course materials

Faculty in the Waters College of Health Professions Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology have been awarded a nearly $30,000 grant to adopt and or create low- and no-cost course materials for human anatomy and physiology (HAP) laboratory courses at 91ΑΤΖζ. 

The HAP laboratory course is a two-sequence course required of all allied health majors at Georgia Southern. Dr. Diana Botnaru, a professor of kinesiology, said the grant will allow students to benefit from an improved course design, access to no- and low-cost supplemental materials, and reduce the financial burden of purchasing required texts.

β€œMore than 2,700 students are enrolled in the HAP laboratory courses annually at Georgia Southern, and this grant will allow us to provide students with a cost savings of more than $50,000,” Botnaru said. 

Departmental faculty involved in the project include Botnaru, Matthew Syno, Jody Langdon, Ph.D., Samuel Wilson, Ph.D., and Nicholas Siekirk, Ph.D., in addition to colleagues Dawn Cannon-Rech and Deborah Walker.
