Overview
This department was originally named Intramurals, Recreation, and Club Sports. It became the Department of Recreation and Wellness in the summer of 2019 when it went through some major changes. The department maintains and manages Heiges Field House Pool, the Student Recreation Complex & Tennis Courts, Intramural Sports, Club Sports, and group fitness activities. All the above areas remained part of Recreation and Wellness, but the department expanded to include the Counseling Center and Etter Health Center. Most of the documents were taken from the website.
