The Sports and Recreation RLC will provide first-year Sports and Recreation Management majors with a group of students and mentors who share an interest in exploring and experiencing recreation and wellness activities as a group.

Students will enroll in Foundations of Hospitality and Sport Management (SRM 202 fall and SRM 240 spring). The proximity of this RLC to UREC encourages participation and time spent interacting with those in the SRM field and participating in events together.  Students will have an integrated experiential learning and support group as part of their RLC experience made up of other first-year students, SRM faculty, UREC staff, and student leaders.

Additionally, students will have more access to UREC and SRM faculty through unique events tailored specifically to the learning community including, but not limited to the following: 

• Academic experiences allow students to connect on a broad level to the disciplines of hospitality, sport, and recreation management.

• Experiential learning opportunities such as the TEAM Challenge Course, and additional team-based activities and service opportunities facilitated by UREC staff.

• Participation in UREC’s fall and spring service programs (Warm a Winter Wish and Spring Break Service Trip)

• Professional co-curricular experiences such as networking events with the HART School Visiting Committee and membership in the Sports and Leisure Association of Madison
