The Exercise Science Club (EESC) is a student organization instated/established in 2009 by undergraduates who plan on pursuing careers in Exercise Science related fields.

In addition, the club seeks to help its members become the most qualified applicants for careers, graduate, and medical programs; Encourage community involvement and to present members with opportunities to serve by volunteering within the community.
