San Diego City College is offering a Fitness Center lecture series to students and faculty for extra credit hours at Harry West Gym room 206 starting March 24.

Staff members will receive one hour of FLEX credit and students will receive one hour of extra credit for each lecture they attend out of the three lectures. Students enrolled in PE 153 will be eligible for one make-up attendance hour for each lecture attended.

The series will be for three months starting in March and ending in May, and will feature keynote speakers including two doctors and an Olympian.
