Chris Chambers, MS, ATC, LAT

Chiropractic Physician Assistant, Pendleton Chiropractic Center

Bachelor of Arts, Athletic Training major

When I transferred to Anderson University, I was expecting something quite different than what I actually experienced. At my previous school, I never truly felt connected to my professors, or my peers for that matter. I felt as if I was just another face in the crowd. As soon as I stepped foot on the AU campus, I knew that this was going to be a very special experience that would change the direction of my life. Every professor that taught me along the road to the completion of my athletic training degree was exceptional. Each professor impacted my life in a different area, whether it was teaching me how to expand my network of colleges for the future, or explaining the proper way to treat people—not only on a physical level, but on a spiritual level as well. Every person that I interacted with along my journey believed in me, and I truly learned how to believe in myself.

• Exercise Science serves the AU community by acting as personal trainers for faculty/staff, by working with strength and conditioning of athletic teams and by doing applied research.
• Exercise Science internships in the community help students gain experience toward a specific career objective, or in preparation for graduate education in physical therapy, wellness, adult fitness/cardiac rehabilitation, and academics/research.
