Known for his recent film Wolf and shorts such as "Katrina's So," dawn.," and "Hope's War," Smith was named a "2016 Screenwriter to Watch" by Moviemaker Magazine and spoke with KERA about his work on David Simon's new HBO television show. |

Tomorrow's Healthcare Innovators UTA is answering a growing need to train highly skilled healthcare professionals by offering a new doctoral degree program in kinesiology this fall semester. The program will create opportunities for graduate students and researchers to work in an interdisciplinary environment that combines aspects of nursing and kinesiology education in three tracks: movement and rehabilitation sciences, applied physiology, and physical education. The new degree program helps UTA advance our understanding of health and the human condition, a key area of its Strategic Plan 2020: Bold Solutions, Global Impact. |
