JULY 2020

Fall Plans

We recognize the role that recreation and wellness programs play in promoting student well-being, inspiring a sense of community, and encouraging student development and learning. In Fall 2020, we will be using risk assessment tools to ensure that we can return to participation safely. We will adjust our program offerings to minimize transmission or contraction of COVID-19, while still promoting student engagement and fun. Our plans include:

Reducing risks for in-person programs and services and expanding virtual activities
Enhanced cleaning and social distancing measures
Additional education and training for staff and participants
Modified sport, fitness, and outdoor offerings based on national and state guidelines and recommendations

We're excited to connect with you and you can find more information about our Fall plans at gvsu.edu/rec/fall2020. Any other questions? Email us at rec@gvsu.edu or DM @gvsurecreation on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and ask away!

And no matter what happens, stay #GVLakerStrong.

Student Wellness

Summer means sunshine! Make sure you stay safe in the sun by using sunscreen and staying hydrated. Learn more about why sun safety is important.
It can be easy to get out of the groove during summer–especially during a pandemic–but establishing a routine can set you up for success! Create a sleep schedule, eat meals around the same time each day, and set aside time to relax.

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
