WHY DO YOU REC? 

Lasting Impact 

"Campus Recreation has impacted me in only positive ways. I now have a great group of friends, I work with people I get to joke around and be myself with, and I feel accomplished because I have a genuine tie to the school that's more than "just going here." I feel that being part of Campus Recreation is what really made me feel at home at GVSU." - Trevor
