About Student Activities
Stewardship Statement
Student Activities invites individuals to experience the power of acting for themselves through involvement in student-led programs and events.
Guiding Principles
Organization
Student Activities is a student-led, campus organization that is divided into six areas of emphasis: Fitness, Outdoor, Service, Social, Sports and Talent. Within each area, there are categories and specific programs or events that are organized, staffed and executed by volunteer managers and their council members. These managers are assisted by student coordinators who have experience serving in that specific Activities Area. Student coordinators are, in turn, assisted by student directors who work with the student area director to ensure a smooth, successful program.
The most important part of the program is the leadership experience that each student gains as he or she prepares acts and then reflects on the results of his or her actions. While there is staff advisors assigned to work with each area of Student Activities, theirs is a role of mentoring and shadowing. It is truly a student-run organization.

About Sports Activities
The Sports Activities area offers students options for participating in special sports-related events, competitive leagues or recreational leagues.
Competitive Sports is an intracollegiate sports program involving try-outs, student-coached teams, regular team practices and team uniforms. Inclusion is a key as efforts are made to accommodate students who choose to participate at different skill and ability levels. Competitive Sports require a greater time commitment and focus when compared to leagues in RecSports.
RecSports leagues are open to co-ed groups, groups of friends, or wards that desire participation without the greater time commitment of Competitive Sports. There are various leagues in each available sport, supporting a level of competition suitable to participants' desires.
