Student Recreation and Wellness Support

The Student Recreation and Wellness Center is turning 10!  

To celebrate this milestone, our professional staff team has established a fund that honors and supports our passion for health and wellness, within and beyond the facility’s walls. The Student Rec. and Wellness Fund will support an array of areas including student professional development, facility enhancements, equipment upgrades and innovative programming (see the possibilities below)! Your donation to this fund will enhance all our functional areas including Esports, Fitness, RU Outdoors, Intramurals and Club Sports.


PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our student workers are talented and motivated. You can help us ignite that potential by helping students:

  • Travel to national conferences associated with the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association, such as Emerging Recreational Sports Leadership and Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education.
  • Achieve certifications for officiating, Wilderness First Responder, Group X instruction and personal training.

STUDENT RECREATION AND WELLNESS CENTER ENHANCEMENTS

A little Highlander Pride goes a long way! Most people see walls as barriers, but we see them as opportunities! Fresh paint and branded graphics are wall enhancements that will help us reflect our pride and enthusiasm for Radford University. With your help, we can proudly display our identity as Highlanders more prominently throughout the center.


EQUIPMENT UPGRADES

The nature of health and wellness is evolving. To keep our students' experience relevant, we strive to stay up to date on trends, advancements and equipment upgrades. We have a passion for hands-on experience and work to acquire cutting edge equipment.


PROGRAMMING

In Student Rec. and Wellness, we aspire to become a more prominent regional host for special events like weightlifting and strength and endurance competitions. These events carry expenses such as staffing, judging, officiating and many others. Your gift can help us overcome that barrier and provide top-notch opportunities to our students and the community!

 

Help us continue to offer students the highest levels of training, programming and equipment by donating today!

To celebrate our building's 10th anniversary, our goal is to raise $10,000!  Imagine the possibilities we’ll unlock with that foundation of support! You can help us make it happen with your commitment today. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps!
