Welcome to February E-News from Campus Recreation!
This quarter is moving too fast - the rain and cold weather is not helping but the Malley Center is dry and the pool is heated to 80 degrees. The Winter of Wellness is in full swing and we have lots happening this week with Financial Wellness. Intramural Sports had over 1,400 students with 35 faculty and staff signed up to play, and you have not missed your chance we have two tournaments this quarter - March 1 cornhole and March 8 pickleball. Additionally, we will have a faculty/staff pickleball tournament on March 13. To learn more see below or visit the IM webpage. There are lots of free fitness classes this quarter try to find time to squeeze one into your schedule there is no sign-up up needed and all are first come first serve.
We hope to see you soon- our programs support your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness, and your well-being is important to us. You do not need 30 minutes or even 10 minutes to improve your well-being - stop by today to shoot some hoops or walk on the treadmill.
