Overview
Our Mission:
WNE Recreation promotes a lifelong commitment to healthy habits and holistic wellness by providing quality programming, facilities and services to the WNE student, staff and alumni population.
Our Vision:
Our department reinforces the university co-curricular approach by advancing the development of our student employees and program participants in a non-traditional educational environment.
All program areas within WNE Recreation are available to the university student, faculty and staff population.
The WNE Recreation department is comprised of the following areas. For more information about specific program areas, please click either on the area titles, or make a selecton from the drop-down menu.
Intramural sports are available for all WNE students, staff and faculty. Participants may sign up for one team in the "Open/Men's" or "Women's" division and one team in the "Co-Rec" division for each sport. Intramural sports are included in the university fee structure, and can be played without additional cost. Games will be played on-campus in our recreational areas.
Sports will be officiated by student officials. Clinics for intramural officiating will be held prior to the start of the corresponding intramural season. Please consult the intramural page for further information.
The Caprio Alumni Healthful Living Center (CAHLC) contains free weight and functional workout spaces, a lap pool, an indoor track and cardio spaces. Available hours for specific spaces can be found on our Facillity Offerings page.
Students wishing to compete in non-varsity, inter-collegiate competition can create a club sport organization in conjunction under the direction of the Recreation and the Student Activities departments. WNE Rugby was founded in 2009 and competes in the Colonial Coast Rugby Conference. More information can be found on our Club Sports page.
Recreational Gaming and E-Sports
Online, mobile, and console gaming occurs in conjunction with the WNE Game Club (WNE WARP). Social nights, leagues, and tournaments take place frequently throughout the year. Communication and registration for events are through the Discord app/browser. The WNE WARP Discord can be found at https://discord.gg/X9pufue
