Campus Recreation has released the results of their survey on faculty and staff programming. Some of the findings are listed below. Complete survey results are available here.

The survey was conducted in order to discover the recreation and fitness preferences of our faculty and staff.

The following are a few data points discovered during this deep dive into the thoughts and habits of our faculty and staff.

More than 40 percent of survey respondents said they are unaware of exercise opportunities offered at the Miller Center. Campus Recreation is working with human resources to raise awareness of offerings for faculty and staff.
