Intramurals are probably one of the
most popular extracurricular activities
at Behrend. Rob Wittman is the per
son who is in charge of coordinating
all of these activities, as well as the
recreational activities on campus.
This year, there have been several
changes and additions to the intramu
ral program. First, a recreational cal
endar has been added and will include
such activities as a canoe trip, fantasy
football, and a Euchre tournament.
There are also plans for a white water
rafting trip in the spring.
