Karen Swanger, director of KidSpirit and two-time OSU alumna of the college in kinesiology (BS in exercise and sport science and MS in human performance) received the OSU Loyal Philanthropic Partner Award for her dedication to growing KidSpirit's impact.

The KidSpirit program is a rich learning environment for both participants and staff. It is a masterful example of putting research into practice, and the practice has a genuine impact in the lives of those it touches.

Congratulations, Karen!
