BUFFALO, NY - Peter M. Koehneke’s contributions to athletic training and accreditation received national recognition. The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) presented the chair of the Kinesiology Department with its Bob and Lynn Caruthers Service Award. The organization recognized Koehneke “for not only leading by example but for leading with experience and thoughtful guidance.”
A certified athletic trainer, Koehneke directs the college’s athletic training curriculum. Under his leadership, Canisius grew its athletic training major from a handful of students to more than 60, and became one of the first small, private colleges to receive national accreditation for its athletic training program.
