RECREATIONAL SPORTS AND FITNESS ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS
October 22, 2008 (at Staff Senate meeting) Kathy Sobrepena reported that the climbing wall construction has been slighted adjusted to fit funding; installation will begin soon. Fifty classes are being offered this semester. The Board has faculty, and grad student vacancies.
April 23, 2008 (at CEPAC-Staff Senate meeting) Diane Helgeson reported on behalf of Kathy Sobrepena. Club sports (e.g. rugby and lacrosse) are voicing concern over field space availability.
March 26, 2008 (at CEPAC-Staff Senate meeting) Kathy Sobrepena reported that the students voted in favor of a $5 student fee (for fitness equiment). Meanwhile, the facility has now been secured such that members only have access to the building. It is not anticipated that fees (other than for lockers) will increase this year. A question was raised about the availability of the walking track in Romney Gym. Its status wasn't known for sure but, as an alternative, walking is permitted inside the fieldhouse.
May, 2007 We met the end of May discussing the new name of the new building. It will match the name of the department which is Recreational Sports and Fitness Center but with the name of Marga Hoseaus in front of the name. We had a walk through in April. The new building and it’s available offerings will be very exciting. If anyone is interested in a walk-through, call Steve Erickson at the Recreational Sport and Fitness office. The completion date should be around Thanksgiving, 2007. The fees will not go up for Spring Semester 2008 but will probably go up the next Fall 2008.
April 11, 2007 The construction project has a tentative completion date of November l, 2007. The facility will open only when it is fully completed due to warranties. The new facility is reported to be outstanding and a walk-through will be slated for the committee either April 13th or April 20th.
The $5 fee increase was voted down by the student body. One reason that was heard was that they did not vote for it because they weren’t sure what it was going to look like. So the student senator on the committee was thinking perhaps it could re-voted on next spring…
The committee was instrumental in renaming what was Intramurals – is now Recreational Sports and Fitness.
The committee also gets to recommend a new name for the facility/building. We have recommended
“Marga Hosaeus Recreational Sports and Fitness Center” which will also tie in with the name of the department.
Due to the $5 fee increase being voted down, several pieces of equipment will NOT be available for use. So there may be a campaign to see if donations of money from Alumnus or anyone for purchasing of badly needed equipment. If you would like to donate or know someone who might be interested in donating, get in touch with Steve Erickson in Recreational Sports and Fitness.
