The Blair Symposium
Celebrating the legacy of Steven N. Blair, B.A. M.S. P.E.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus,
The unexpected passing of Distinguished Professor Emeritus Steven N. Blair last month has had a widespread impact on Arnold School faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends. A member of both the Department of Exercise Science and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, his pioneering work in the field of exercise epidemiology reached far beyond the University of South Carolina and spanned six decades. However, the prolific Blair accomplished more than most could in a century-long career, resulting in many of the highest honors in the fields of kinesiology and public health.
Join us at the Pastides Alumni Center, 900 Senate Street, Columbia, SC. Registration begins at 8:00 AM.
For more details and the schedule, please visit Blair Symposium,
