GVSU Recreation - Get Involved, Be Active, Live Healthy

HAPPY 2019, LAKERS!

Promoting Laker
health and wellbeing

"Collegiate recreation plays a key role in integrating health and wellbeing within the campus culture." Plus, there's "credible evidence to support the impact of collegiate recreation on student recruitment, retention, health, and wellbeing, as well as student learning outcomes and post-graduation employment success."

Our focus on student wellbeing continues to be an important part of Campus Recreation's mission. We're looking forward to another great year, full of programs, services, events, and opportunities to connect students with valuable resources, help students navigate all aspects of wellbeing, and continue to enhance the student experience at GVSU.
