Our Motto

"Renew your strength"

Isaiah 40: 29–31
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings likes eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Student Learning

Much of student learning takes place outside of the classroom.  Student Affairs departments, including this one, seek to support student learning and development.  A specific list of Student Learning Outcomes of Campus Recreation has been established.
