    Discovered Passion

    "Campus Recreation has fostered my leadership skills and introduced me to a diverse community of people. I have been able to fuel my passion for fitness and learn to inspire others to be better versions of themselves. My employment with Campus Recreation helped me discover my passion for inspiring others to live healthy, active, lifestyles. A large portion of my college career has been devoted to Campus Recreation programs and I would not have had it any other way." - Malia
