Why Support Recreation Services

During the academic year, approximately 1000 students are using the WRC each day. We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the WRC by raising funds to support equipment purchases and facility upgrades.  

With your help, Recreation Services can continue to provide quality equipment and a safe environment for students to pursue their fitness and recreation goals.  Please make a gift to support the ongoing needs of the Wellness/ Recreation Center.
