🎉 New Publication from Purdue HK!
Congrats to Associate Professor Laura Claxton and former HK master's student Lucas Rooney on the publication of their article, "The Relation Between Fine Motor Skills and Executive Function in Two-Year-Old Children," in Behavioral Sciences.
The study examined how fine motor skills, particularly visual-motor integration, relate to executive functioning during the toddler years, an understudied period of development.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported, collaborated on, or participated in our events and programming.
Our hearts are heavy after the news of the passing of Rondale Moore, a 2020 White Lodging-J.W. Marriott, Jr. School of Hospitality and Tourism Management alumnus. He will always be remembered as a true Boilermaker.
The Purdue Football family is deeply saddened by the news of Rondale Moore’s tragic passing. An All-American with an infectious smile, Rondale was a joy on and off the field. Someone who left this world too soon, Rondale will be remembered as a legendary Boilermaker.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rondale’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
As the year comes to a close, we of the HK department wish everyone a wonderful holiday and a safe new year!
We look forward to an absolutely amazing new year with you all and hope to share further experiences with not only the community, but the world. Boiler Up!
A wonderful, exciting opportunity has opened in the department of Health & Kinesiology!
