Once Jill Urkoski, KU Recreation Services associate director of program management, read about a fusion of drumming and dance in a fitness and wellness newsletter, she knew the program was something she wanted to bring to the University.
Pound, a cardio workout program incorporating simulated drumming and dancing, was originally started by Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Peerenboom. Starting in the spring of 2015, students will be able to participate in this new form of group exercise.
"I thought maybe that's something that's different, it's something fun," Urkoski said. "You have to move but it's not as in depth in terms of all the other types of group fitness classes we have."
While the online registration for the Pound certification training has already started, students can still register for the all-day training session that will take place Nov. 1. Once students are
"If you are in those classes, then you definitely are enhancing your practicality of information, so it makes you more marketable," Urkoski said. "I think just making connections and engaging with other students can be very beneficial to any profession."
Ukroski said getting a certification in this type of exercise can benefit students who may or may not study exercise science or community health and that teaching a group fitness class can improve leadership skills.
registered, in addition to attending the training session, they will also audition for instructor positions at the KU Ambler Recreation Fitness Center.
Students who are not interested in becoming an instructor can attend the class with a KU Fit Pass. KU Recreation

Services is anticipating having two to three Pound classes a week as part of the KU Fit program.
"It's a cardio jam session so you are always moving,but you are moving to the beat of the music and imitating like you are playing drum," said Anna Schwartz, KU Recreation Services coordinator of fitness and wellness.
Schwartz said the format of this exercise can bring in a more diverse audience. With the musical aspect of the workout, people who typically wouldn't enjoy exercise could also come and appreciate it.
Though Urkoski said the perception of group fitness tends to be more female-oriented, she is anticipating more male participation. She said adding some change to your workout, such as group fitness, can add fun and diversity into a daily, sometimes boring, routine.
"We want everybody to partake in and enjoy, plus it can diverse" she said.

Career Center starts 'Humans of KU'

The University Career Center has started an Instagram account called "Humans of KU" with the intentions of showcasing students around campus with a focus on their passions, majors, future career ideas, internships and more. The account was started a month ago and has featured 18 students so far.
Katrina Zaremba, communications coordinator for the University Career Center, was approached with the idea for the account by the interns she worked with this past summer.
"The interns pitched the idea and just kind of ran with it which I love because here we really value student input," Zaremba said. "We know that if our students are passionate about it, most likely other students will be
too."
Humans of KU," features a variety of students around campus. According to Zaremba, each week, typically on Fridays, the interns will go out and stop students on campus asking them if they'd be interested in being featured on the account. They then snap their picture and ask them questions that showcase each student as an individual.
One of the University Career Center's interns, Josie Miller, a senior from Lenexa, said she and her peers hope to express the uniqueness of the students on campus.
She said approaching random students on campus can be intimidating, but has tried to get used to it in order to learn about their story.
"Lately instead of focusing on my fear, I focus intently on each student and the story that they're revealing to
me, which really helps with nerves and fosters a much deeper conversation," Miller said.
"In my opinion everyone is an iceberg, we all have stories that are beneath the surface that make us who we are," Miller said. "Digging beneath the surface with people helps me see that everyone has a story and gives me a sense of compassion for the students walking around me that I never had before."
Miller said the University Career Center is using social media to voice the incredible journeys that students have made so far, the current situations they are in and where they hope to find themselves in the future.
Megan Pyle, a senior from Overland Park, said she was approached one week ago to be featured on the account. She gave the interviewer for the account insight on her plans to major in Philosophy and also shared that she has a
"It's really student focused and we want to really showcase all of the cool things students are doing. We want the world to know about them," Zaremba said. "Also in a subtle way, the account promotes the Career Center's services at KU as well."
Miller said everyone has something to teach the world, and hopes that Humans of KU can be just one of the many ways students can do that.
Sometimes I forget that each student has their own stories, memories, goals and aspirations that make them who they are today." Miller said. "Humans of KU has really helped me to appreciate humanity and the uniqueness of each of our stories."

Her Campus KU brings StyleWatch to University
MARISSA KAUFMANN

Celebrity stylist and market editor for People StyleWatch, Joiee Thorpe, is hosting an event Tuesday called "Celebrity Stylist on Campus" at the Kansas Union to provide personal fashion consulting for KU students. People StyleWatch partnered with Her Campus KU to engage the University.
Thorpe is coming to help students by giving style advice for important events such as a job interview, a date or a night out. Thorpe will be stationed at the Union from noon to 6:00 p.m. for students to set up 10-minute personal appointments. People's StyleWatch will also be giving away prizes at the event such as a $1,000 shopping spree on ASOS, $100 to TRESemmé, a special gift bag and $250 to Sorel. Participants can enter by tweeting with a specific hashtag and a favorite style to win.
"Celebrity Stylist on Campus" provides a unique opportunity for students to develop different life skills that are not typically offered on campus. Thorpe said many campuses have seminars for business, corporate or nursing jobs. Thorpe is here to empower women and give advice about the fashion industry and how to get started for those who are interested in it.
"Fashion jobs are having this major breakthrough," Thorpe said.
She said she likes to talk to women about how she got started.
"This is what you need to do, you need to get internships, you need to meet people, you need to network," she said.
"Celebrity Stylist on Campus" will come to four universities: Boston University, Auburn, University of Miami and now KU. "We were looking for a school with diversity and a large population of fashionable women, and KU is a natural fit for us," said William Gasperoni, associate publisher of marketing at People StyleWatch.
"Our Her Campus partner's chapter is very strong on social media, and they are fully engaged in the campus, so it was an easy decision," Gasperoni said. "Not to mention, we have a few KU alum in our office who campaigned to get the brand to their alma mater."
"We want to inspire you to be confident and strong," she said. "We want to encourage you like cheerleaders. Not necessarily to do anything out of your comfort zone, but inspire you to take chances. Fashion is risky sometimes and it is fun."
People StyleWatch sets out to create brand awareness and inspire students to use fashion as a form of self-expression, Thorpe said.
Thorpe compares starting in the fashion world similar to the movie "The Devil Wears Prada." She said at first it was intimidating and she was unfamiliar with many brands. However, she worked hard by constantly working an internship during the day and a job at night. "Anything is possible, you just have to want it bad enough," Thorpe said.
