When you think “Campus Rec,” you might picture treadmills and weight rooms — but at the University of Louisville, it’s so much more than that. In this episode of From the Ville to the Nest, host Jessica Combess sits down with Danielle Lavender, Senior Associate Director, and Tim Moore, Director of Campus Recreation and Wellness, to unpack everything their team offers to support student health, engagement, and overall well-being.
From group fitness classes and intramural sports to outdoor adventure trips, wellness coaching, and leadership opportunities — Campus Rec is helping students stay active, meet new people, and take care of both their physical and mental health. Plus, they share details about the Student Recreation Center (SRC), the Health Sciences Center (HSC) fitness space, and how the recent merge with Wellness Promotions is opening up even more resources.
Whether your student is a seasoned athlete or just looking for a fun way to move and connect, this episode will give you the info you need to help them get involved.
