We challenge ourselves and draw strength from each other in a sustained effort to become champions in the classroom and competition. We actively collaborate with our campus and community through the sharing of expertise and resources in advancing strategic partnerships that benefit the larger community. We hold ourselves and others to the highest standard of civility, dignity and compassion while embracing the principles of equality and inclusion.
The Department of Campus Recreation provides recreational and wellness opportunities to enrich the lives of our students and the UIS community. We are also an Institutional Member of the NIRSA Leaders in Collegiate Recreation.
