Vision

The UNC Asheville Campus Recreation Department is built upon a foundation of programming excellence in intramural sports, fitness and wellness programs, outdoor recreation opportunities, and sport clubs. The provision of outstanding facilities, along with the efforts of highly qualified and enthusiastic professional staff ensures the highest student participation rate among colleges in Western North Carolina.

Campus Experience: Through participation, we enhance the sociological, physiological and psychological well-being of each individual, foster community, form lasting memories, and instill a sense of belonging to the institution. We promote physical fitness, healthy habits and balanced behaviors, to encourage students to make choices that improve overall wellness. We teach students meaningful life skills, encourage personal achievement, and develop involved and responsible citizens.

Sustainability: Innovation and the use of technological advancement enables the Campus Recreation Department to take full advantage of its human, physical, and financial resources to be fully connected with the changing interests and needs of the campus community and beyond. We provide excellent service and are committed to environmental sustainability through the implementation of green processes that reduce waste and energy consumption, which compliment the University's strategic objectives.

Education: Reflective of our commitment to the liberal arts mission of the University, a highly selective program for undergraduate coordinators and interns provides exceptional educational, research, and career opportunities for UNC Asheville and visiting students. Our academic partnerships allow students to learn, grow and develop through experiential education, collaboration, role modeling, and leadership opportunities.
