Van Ingen to speak on boxing as therapy — March 26

Cathy van Ingen knows her way around a boxing ring, and you’ll want her in your corner. Van Ingen is an academic who believes in empowering women to overcome adversity through sport.

An associate professor in kinesiology at Brock University, van Ingen is a former boxer, and co-founder of the Shape Your Life program, which is a free non-contact boxing program for female-identified survivors of violence that runs out of a boxing club in the west end of Toronto.

Dr. van Ingen will speak on the Shape Your Life program as part of the Health Sciences Dean’s Speaker Series during the UFV Health and Wellness Expo on Mon, March 26 at noon. She will speak in the Aboriginal Gathering Place on the Chilliwack campus. The event is open to all faculty, staff, and students, and the public is welcome.
