Dr. Barry Braun, Ph.D.
Department Head, Health and Exercise Science
A first-generation college student, Barry Braun earned his Ph.D. in Nutrition from the University of California, Berkeley and completed post-doctoral work at Stanford University Medical School. He served as Professor at UMASS Amherst for 14 years before joining CSU in 2014 to lead the Department of Health and Exercise Science and Human Performance Clinical Research Laboratory, where his priority has been to foster a culture where everyone strives to be great at what they do without stepping on or over anyone else. Dr. Braun’s research focused on how exercise can be used to prevent type-2 diabetes but teaching has been his biggest source of joy. He established the Dulcinea Del Toboso Scholarship and Alonso Quijano Research Scholars funds to support student success in health and exercise science.
Kat Lawrie, Student Speaker
Human Development and Family Studies
Kat Lawrie is graduating summa cum laude with a B.S. in human development and family studies, a concentration in pre-health professions, and a minor in sociology. Beyond her academic excellence, Kat has bolstered her CSU experience with involvement and education abroad. As an officer with the Student Outreach and Undergraduate Leadership organization, Kat engaged prospective students, organized food drives, cared for children in adoptive and kinship care, and worked with students on the Autism spectrum. Last summer, Kat participated in a three-week service-learning program focused on community healthcare in Zambia, which expanded her experiences navigating complex situations involving cultural sensitivity and dismantling layers of privilege and inequities. Her internship at My Heroes Therapy is preparing her to continue her education in occupational therapy.
