The RecWell department will no longer offer the Well & Fit Membership starting after April 11 and will be the last day to purchase (1 month only) in-person or online. If you have a locker at the Well, all lockers will need to be cleaned out at the end of the day on May 2nd.

Recreation & Wellness is incredibly grateful for the memories made and the connections formed with our staff – thank you! We are leaving The Well in excellent hands to continue supporting your health and wellness needs.
Our team in Recreation & Wellness remains committed to providing you with top-tier recreation and wellness opportunities from our campus facilities, including The Rec Center and The FIT.
