Publication Highlight: Maria Damewood, Savannah-Faith Clark and Dr. Ashley Artese

Two RC Alums, Maria Damewood, Health and Exercise Science Major & Spanish Minor ’22 and Savannah-Faith Clark, Health and Exercise Science Major & Neuroscience Concentration ’21, were recently published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity alongside former assistant professor, Dr. Ashley Artese. Clark received funding from Roanoke’s Pathways Program allowing her to take her research to the next level. Their article titled, “Physical Activity During the COVID-19 Stay -at-Home Order in Active Older Adults: A Qualitative Study” was published in August of this year and discusses how the closures of fitness centers influenced physical activity. 

Congratulations to our fellow Maroons!!!
