On behalf of the Department of Kinesiology, College of Health and Human Development, I extend our most sincere condolences to Jan Atwood's family and friends. Our department is a better place because of Jan, both in the past and more recently, thanks to Jan's generosity. We appreciate her longstanding dedication to the success of our faculty, staff, and students and we will continue to honor her legacy in the department and in the college. All of us who knew Jan Atwood benefited from our interactions with her. She was sharp, insightful, and always a wealth of information regarding the history of the department and the evolution of field of physical education. Jan provided a unique and valuable perspective that was highly valued. She is definitely one of the giants on whose shoulders we stand. We will miss her very much.
