Volunteering with the Active Aging and Health Management Program, which serves seniors living with chronic diseases, has given kinesiology students Charles Kahelin and Rob Ward a better appreciation of the wide spectrum of mobility issues people must cope with.
The two are now helping with a research project on the location of emergency evacuation chairs in campus buildings.
Ward, just finished his third year studies in movement science, says that for a university geared to accessibility, the project is important.
