Portland State is embarking on a significant new commitment to student engagement and retention with the opening of a new student recreation center in the Fall of 2009. Home to Campus Recreation, the new Center will be located in the heart of campus in the Urban Plaza and will provide students and the campus community significantly expanded opportunities for exercise and campus engagement. Funded by student-fees, the Center will fall under the auspices of student affairs and is being intentionally programmed to link recreation to student learning.

Volunteer to help make decisions on the new Student Rec Center - we want your feedback. Please email alexa@pdx.edu if you want to volunteer.


The new Student Rec Center is due to open in the 2009-10 Academic Year - less than two years away
