NiCole Keith

Acting Associate Dean, School of Education & Tourism Management
Professor, Department of Kinesiology, IU School of Physical Education & Tourism Management
Program Founder, Physically Active Residential Communities and Schools (PARCS)
Research Scientist, IU Center for Aging and Research
Investigator, Regenstreif Institute, Incorporated.

While working on a research project as a Ph.D. student, NiCole Keith saw first-hand the impact exercise can have on a person’s physical and mental health. She decided right then and there that that is what she wanted to do. “I want to help people make their lives better through physical activity and exercise,” she said.  And that’s exactly what she has done during her 15-year career at IUPUI (now IU Indianapolis). She was the second faculty member in her school to do service learning and the first one to actually send students out into the community.
