Jeffrey Timmer

Dr. Jeffrey Timmer is dedicated to teaching health and healthy habits to students of all ages. Since 2001, he has put that ethic into practice at Keene State College and out into local schools.

In the Keene State classroom, Dr. Timmer especially enjoys teaching PE 201 Physiology of Exercise. The reason, he says, is to teach students about our bodies and exercise that may be different than what the media and coaches present as the truth.

In the public classroom, he is Co-Administrator of the 5210 Club is an after school program designed to create a healthy equation between physical activity and good nutrition. And, on the field, Dr. Timmer is the co-advisor for the Keene State College Golf Club and coaches at the Keene State College Basketball Camp every summer.
