What does recreation mean to you?
Recreation means taking time to unwind and doing something for yourself!
Why do you participate in Recreation & Wellness programs,
services, or events?
I participate in Recreation & Wellness because it's fun
meeting new people and getting to find more individuals interested in
similar activities or hobbies. Getting to be physically active in a
welcoming environment allowed me to be comfortable in a new setting in
my first years at Grand Valley.
Recreation & Wellness has given me the opportunity to pursue my passions as a member of Grand Valley's community and as a professional. My time as a student was improved with regular physical activity thanks to the Rec's gym, opportunities to play intramural sports, and use of other services, such as the Injury Care Clinic!
How has your involvement in Recreation & Wellness impacted
your experience at GVSU?
My involvement led to so many great opportunities to make friends
in my club sports, become more involved with the other GVSU community
members, and given me a lot of opportunities to unload and distress!
As a staff member, GVSU Recreation & Wellness gave me the
opportunity to have some of my first professional experiences with the
UFit program and working in Fitness and Wellness. My participation has
only improved my overall experience at GVSU, and helped build better
bonds with my friends and the community!
