Revitalized
This weekend, as our PEAK Workshop was held, I found myself reminded of all of the exciting benefits we receive from gathering and sharing as professionals. Many of you attended the AAHPERD National convention in March and are probably feeling the same. Isn't it great to see fellow professionals gathered under the same roof, sharing ideas. The energy and enthusiasm at these gatherings is contagious! I challenge you as professionals in the field, to return to your schools and share the information you have learned and the enthusiasm that was rekindled.
We at PELINKS will hopefully contribute by reinforcing, or introducing, information that can be shared. In this issue you will find a section designed to introduce you to options for you to access graduate programs without long-term residences in distant states, lists of a variety of workshops, and ideas for curricular change.
Remember that we enjoy hearing your ideas, and look forward to hearing how your enthusiasm is impacting your programs.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
