The School of Health and Human Performance wishes to recognize Dr. Jerry Singleton’s recent induction into the Academy of Leisure Sciences. 

The Academy of Leisure Sciences is an honorary society composed of eminent scientists who have made outstanding and distinctive contributions to the leisure, park and recreation sciences.  Although many Fellows continue to maintain active programs of research, election to the Academy reflects a career-long record of outstanding contributions to knowledge.

The Academy was founded in 1980 by a group of 30 leading leisure scientists.  Their objective was to recognize outstanding accomplishment in the leisure, park and recreation disciplines, and by so doing inspire others to make significant contributions to the leisure sciences.
