The Office of Recreation is a member of the Division of Student Life. Through our collaborative efforts, we provide the University of Toledo Community with quality, student-centered recreational and health promotion programs and services that enrich the mind, body and spirit.
To achieve the mission, the staff provides opportunities to learn new skills, games, and activities and the role these activities play in living a full and healthy life. The primary goal of The Office of Recreation is to convey to the University community the joy and exhilaration experienced by including recreation and wellness as healthy elements of daily life. Opportunities are offered to explore one's limits, experience achievement, and practice wholesome stress-management techniques. Activities regularly promote social interaction within the culturally diverse University community. Opportunities abound to support and enhance the educational mission of the University. Students are continually challenged to examine their values and life choices in the search to build a meaningful identity and understand themselves and others. The numerous competitive and cooperative interchanges provide an ideal climate for learning to respect the dignity and worth of the individual, as well as the importance of team development.
Office of Recreation programs are both for and by students. The broad varieties of activities provide challenging developmental experiences for students in a limited-risk environment. We provide numerous opportunities for students to fill leadership positions, accept increasing levels of responsibility, and continually hone human relations skills
