When you’re building a great team, you recruit from the best schools. That’s true from basketball to biomechanics.

The University of Arkansas in the past two years hired three professors who are graduates of the University of Connecticut, the top-ranked kinesiology program in the nation for 10 years in a row. The three new hires and two other young professors with impressive early research productivity combine with veteran faculty members for an exercise science program with the potential to make a big impact, particularly in the area of hydration.
