The mission of Recreational Services at the University of Iowa is to “serve the University community and the surrounding communities through recreational activities.” Within the Recreational Services Program there are potential opportunities for physical, mental, and social growth for students, faculty/staff, youth, and seniors and these may be realized to varying degrees by each participant in the many competitive and/ or informal recreational activities the department offers. The programs are geared to develop an appreciation of the meaningfulness and importance of the use of one’s leisure time. This approach is believed to assist in the total education of the individual through informal association and opportunities outside the classroom.
