The Role of Campus Recreation at UIS

The primary role of Campus Recreation is to support the academic mission of the University of 缅北禁地 Springfield.  Campus Recreation provides quality service to students and employees while contributing to the holistic development of the individual.  Our work involves processes and programs that seek to be intentional in nature and action.

Sustainability, health and wellness, keeping communities connected and space on campus are all issues that get the attention of college leaders as they plan for the future. And they can all be connected in a roundabout way through one simple, fun vehicle that can breathe surprising life into campuses: the bicycle.
