I would like to welcome you and invite you to make use of our campus recreational facilities and programs.  Participation in some type of vigorous physical activity on a regular basis will greatly enhance your overall University experience and get you on your way to leading an active, healthy lifestyle.

Our gymnasium facility includes a hardwood floor gym, a synthetic floor gym, four racquetball courts, a dance/aerobic room, a weight room, an equipment issue office, an athletic training room, classrooms, and locker rooms.  Four new lighted tennis courts and a lighted soccer field provide space for outdoor recreational activities, along with many areas on campus for running, walking, biking, and roller blading.  The duck pond also provides a place for quiet relaxation.  The exciting news for 2001 is that our Olympic size outdoor swimming pool will be renovated and back in operation after ten years of being empty!

You may choose to participate in athletics, intramurals, Kinesiology classes, or open recreation.  Programs are planned to attempt to meet the diverse needs of the University community.  Feel free to offer suggestions for new activities or programs that we would try.

Please stop by and say "hello" and take a tour of the gym.  My office is on the first floor, Gym 102 or call ext 2335.

Sincerely,

Rob Rankin
Director of Student Recreational Programs
