POV: you’re ready for another semester of club sports, new teammates, new friends, and finding your people.

We had such a great time meeting so many of you at Friday’s Student Engagement Fair and sharing what our Club Sports crew has to offer.

Whether you’re returning for another season or thinking about joining something new, there are so many ways to get involved, compete, travel, build community, and make friends along the way.

Last, but certainly not least this week, a HUGE shoutout to the people who keep Harvard Recreation running smoothly every single day. 👏

Four facilities. Two pools. Countless moving parts. Approximately 700 things happening at the same time. And, this crew keeps the doors open, the spaces ready, and the Rec experience moving.

They’re the people behind the scenes solving problems before most of us even know there was a problem, keeping our facilities in shape, and making sure you have somewhere to work out, swim, play, compete, hang out, and occasionally ask us a question that keeps us on our toes. 😂

We’re incredibly proud of this team and everything they do to make Harvard Recreation happen every day.

Here’s to another semester of the best organized chaos, packed facilities, questionable walkie-talkie conversations, and making ALL of our spaces a fun place to be. ❤️

Be sure to give our team love in the comments - they read these you know. 😉

Over the next three years, we hope you’ll keep coming back, whether that means trying a new class, joining an intramural team, hitting the gym, checking out one of our special events, or just finding a new way to have fun and meet people on campus.

Rec Fest was only the beginning. We can’t wait to see what you get involved with next. 👀

You know the memes. Now know the symptoms. 🌡️

Confusion, muscle cramps, headaches, extreme thirst, nausea, dizziness, and heavy sweating can all be signs of heat-related illness.

While working out, listen to your body. Take breaks, drink water, move somewhere cool, and let a Harvard Recreation staff member know if you or a friend starts feeling unwell.
The workout can wait. Your safety cannot.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

We enjoyed welcoming fellow Ivy Rec professionals to Princeton’s campus to engage in a variety of activites. From showcasing our newly renovated facilities and sharing campus updates to exploring Gallup Gallup CliftonStrengths and engaging in thoughtful roundtable discussions.

Thank you to everyone who joined us from near and far. Your collaboration, insight, and energy made for a meaningful and memorable few days.
