Rec Day
Main Content


Join us in celebrating recreational sports and fitness on Thursday, February 20 with a host of fun activities for all ages.
Every year, on the day commemorating National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association's (NIRSA) founding — February 22, 1950 — we join with other universities across the United States and Canada to celebrate campus recreation.
On this day, as with every day, we remember the vision set in motion by Dr. William Wasson and his colleagues at the first NIRSA Conference: to celebrate health, activity, competition, and inclusively.
