Smart Moves at the Rec Center
You may be aware that you are currently enrolled in a membership at the Campus Recreation Center on the south end of campus. This rec center contains an area called Smart Moves that only certain groups on campus have access to, including graduate and professional students.
We have confirmed that Smart Moves will try an expansion of hours. On Monday through Friday, we will expand the evening hours to 8pm. So the hours for Smart Moves (starting 1/19) are now Monday through Friday 11-2 and 4-8pm.

However, the more students who attend in the new extended hours, the better shot we have at keeping and even possibly further extending those hours.
