Mitch McGill and Stephanie Kennon McGill

Stefanie Kennon-McGill, Ph.D., and Mitchell McGill, PH.D. (Assistant Professors) Since graduate school, we both have enjoyed running. It is also how we met each other. One of the most memorable races to us was the 2013 Diabetes Dash for Life, a 5-kilometer race in Kansas City, which benefitted the local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). With two little children of our own and being both in academia, it became a bit harder to participate in the races, but we are still trying to stay active as much as we can by identifying other opportunities for activity. Mitch, for example, has discovered a newfound joy of kayaking and fishing.
