About Us

Campus Recreation and Wellness seeks to foster a campus-wide culture of recreation and wellness through a comprehensive array of programs and services that educate, empower, and engage individuals to pursue and sustain healthy, balanced lifestyles.  We shape the collegiate experience by building a university culture that invests resources and appreciates the importance of quality recreation programs, services, and facilities.

Our Values

Community - We understand building a sense of community can lead to student retention and satisfaction.  CRW commits to building community through collaboration with campus partners, team building within staff, creating a welcoming environment, and providing socialization opportunities through programming efforts.

Excellence - We recognize high quality programs and services, as well as positive customer service, can beneficially impact individual experiences.  CRW is committed to providing the best quality possible, and upholds the attitude of being an "opportunistic" problem solver while maintaining policies and procedures pertaining to safety, security, and the well-being of each individual.

Experiential Learning - We believe in our responsibility of developing the whole person, including such characteristics of integrity, leadership, respect, and responsibility. CRW strives to create opportunities, which allow students to develop knowledge, skills, and values that they can carry with them throughout their lifespan.

Inclusiveness - We strive to be as inclusive as possible by taking a universal approach that is student-oriented and focuses on providing a diverse array of programs and services. CRW is cognizant of the importance of diversity and aware of our role as a leader in co-curricular learning.

Stewardship - We understand we have an obligation to our community to protect valued resources.  CRW practices stewardship through the responsible planning, management, and use of economic, environmental, and intellectual resources.
