Erick Richman

Erick Richman serves as a Senior Lecturer and Wellness Program Coordinator in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at Columbus State University, operating from the Health and Wellness Center where he bridges academic theory with practical student wellness initiatives.

His educational foundation was built entirely at Columbus State University:

• M.S. in Exercise Science
• B.A. in English Professional Writing

Richman's research synthesizes Wellness, Strength and Conditioning, and Mindfulness with Media Literacy and Rhetoric, creating a distinctive framework for health education. He applies human physiology and biomechanics to demystify exercise science while using his journalism expertise to dissect media's role in shaping health narratives—empowering students to critically evaluate wellness information and find personal meaning in physical activity.

As Wellness Program Coordinator, he develops campus initiatives that emphasize present-moment joy in movement and sustainable goal achievement. His programs integrate psychological principles with practical training, fostering environments where students explore mobility, stress management, and media literacy as interconnected pillars of holistic health. This approach transforms theoretical concepts into actionable wellness strategies grounded in scientific rigor and critical awareness.
