This year, University Recreation is assessing our intramural sports program, and we’re looking to hear from you! Whether or not you play already, your input matters to us.
Your feedback on the fitness center was invaluable to us last year and resulted in the purchase of a multi-station cable machine and development of the exercise coaching program, among other things. We’re looking forward to hearing from you how we can continue to improve your experience with intramural sports!
Take the survey here. Everyone who takes it by Thursday, April 20, will receive a $5 Rental Center voucher and will be entered in a raffle to win a $50 Amazon gift card.
