		Juliette Daley Juliette Daley attended Southern Illinois University where she worked toward her M.A. in English Literature. She then received her M.A. and M.F.A in painting and drawing at Maharishi University of Management. Juliette has choreographed for dance and gymnastics since 1972. During these years she competed under the direction of the famed coach, Herb Vogel. Under Vogel, Daley became a two-time All-American and graduated with the Nissen Award (given to the outstanding graduating gymnast in the U.S.). Concurrently, she was a member of Canada’s national gymnastic team. In 1994 she developed her own dance troupe, DANZA.DA Improvisational Dance/Theater. This highly original group combined the flexibility and athletic energy of gymnastics, the expertise of mime, ballet, and jazz, and incorporated original improvisational techniques designed to bridge the gap between theater and dance. DANZA.DA performed at the 1999 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. Daley’s paintings have been viewed in solo and group exhibits. Throughout her career she has been the recipient of grants and awards, including twice being selected Outstanding Teacher by students at Maharishi University of Management.
		Raul Calderon Raul Calderon earned his first master’s degree in Health Fitness from the Physical Education and Exercise Science Department at the University of Iowa.

Raul was awarded an NIH grant to do his post doctoral training in social and cardiovascular epidemiology at the Stanford Center for Research in Disease Prevention at the Stanford School of Medicine. After Stanford, he continued his research training in adolescent health behavior at the University of Kentucky. He also was the project director of the Family Project/Proyecto La Familia, an NIH study investigating the effects of culture and context on the mental and physical development of Mexican-American children at Arizona State University. Prof. Calderon is currently the Director of the Health and Fitness Program, where he is implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the University’s health and daily physical activity program, a graduation requirement for all undergraduate students.
