UD 109 - COMMUTER MINI COURSE

 

It's not too late to register for the mini-course UD 109, designed to bring together a small group of commuter students to get to know each other and to learn about campus resources.  This course is open to any f.t. undergraduate commuters (and if you're registered for less than 18 credit hours, you can add this 1-credit-hour course at no additional charge).  We require a minimum number of registrants to make this course happen, and there's still room available.

The course starts next Thursday, January 23, and will continue for ten sessions on Thursdays from 2:00pm - 3:15pm.  You'll engage in activities that promote community within the small group, and you'll also have an opportunity to participate in peer education sessions.  We'll have several departments from across campus scheduled to visit the classroom to share resources with you.

Don't miss out on this opportunity and register today!  The mini-course will be co-facilitated by Amy Lopez-Matthews (commuter adviser) and Sam Ortiz from MEC (Multi-Ethnic Education and Engagement Center).

Start 2020 Off Right With UD Campus Recreation!

With the start of a new semester comes the opportunity to focus on your health and wellbeing! At University of Dayton Campus Recreation, it is our mission to motivate, inspire and empower the UD community to lead healthy, active and balanced lives. Swing by the RecPlex and join UD Campus Recreation in setting the tone for a healthy and happy 2020!

 

Winter is in full swing, and what better way to boost your mood and energy than getting in your 30 minutes of daily exercise. Research by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports that adults require at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Aside from the physical benefits, other worthwhile benefits of getting 30 minutes of exercise daily include:

  • Reduced stress levels
  • Enhanced quality of life
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Increased endorphins
  • Alleviated anxiety

Be sure to check out UD Campus Recreation’s semester offerings! Take a group fitness class, work with a personal trainer, compete on an intramural team or even go on an outdoor adventure like sea kayaking in the Florida Everglades, ice climbing in Michigan, or hiking, biking, climbing and paddling around the Dayton area! You can do it all with UDCR.
