Four Cornell College students are spending their summer researching playgrounds in Linn County. Their story was published by the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Sun on June 22, 2023.

“We are doing a study across Linn County on playground equipment to see how it can help enhance the development of children’s physical fitness,” said senior exercise science major Kaylynn Sparks, who plans to become a physical therapist.

Sparks, along with senior Ani’ja Simmons, sophomore A’ryn Jackson, and junior Carissa Meis are working with Associate Professor of Kinesiology Lewis Kanyiba.
