Be positive. Be healthy. Be active.

By now, you have received multiple communications from President Montgomery and our Provost, Dr. Jennifer Bott, regarding the university’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak. WMU remains open, as education is being offered at a distance for the remainder of spring semester and some services are being offered distance as well.

In alignment with courses being offered through distance education for the remainder of the semester, University Recreation is offering services and programs from a distance as our staff is working remotely during this time. You can also receive assistance and answers to your questions about club sports, fitness, intramural sports and facility information/rentals at a distance via email, phone and video.

Virtual programming opportunities
In person recreation opportunities and group fitness programs have been canceled until the Student Recreation Center reopens. Our fitness and intramural sports staff are working diligently to provide programs that you can do from your home on a daily basis to keep you healthy and active. All of our remote programs will be available by following us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
