History

Welcome to the Recreation and Wellness award-winning digital timeline developed through the Tiki-Toki platform. We're extremely proud of the rich history of health and physical fitness at the University and the impact that the Department of Recreation and Wellness has made during the last several decades. If you have a story or artifact that the Recreation and Wellness staff can consider adding to this installation, are able to add detail to an existing story, or are able to identify a person in a featured photograph, complete the submission form below - we'd love for you to become part of our collective community. Check back often as new stories and photographs are added weekly. Enjoy!
