Lifetime Recreation Week 1

During the last week, it has been an incredible journey having new students coming in and hearing their stories. The students within the Lifetime Recreation community entered this year with passion to continue their love for recreation in college.Even though that they all have different majors and backgrounds, they all have some type of recreation in common.  I knew that the community was an active bunch when they brought footballs, snowboards, golf clubs, soccer balls, rafting tubes, slack lines, and more, as they were moving into their dorms.  The second day that they were here, we went on a bike ride through town and tubed down the river. Just to see the passion in their eyes to enjoy what Boise has to offer was something that made me extremely excited for.

It has been a great week so far and I cannot wait to see where the students will go in the rest of the semester. A lot of them are already signed up to be involved in the Outdoor Recreation program, the wake boarding club, soccer clubs, etc. We even created a 17 person softball team for the intramural tournament! It has been wonderful to see that each person found what they love at Boise State and aren’t afraid of new experiences. So here’s to the fun we will have the rest of the year!
