Intramural-
Recreational
Activities
Intramural-Recreational ac
tivities are held throughout the
year at Penn State-Behrend. These
sporting activities provide students
(men and women), faculty and
staff an opportunity to develop new
skills as well as remain physically
active. Penn State-Behrend's in
tramural activities are com
petitive, yet the elements of fun and
recreation are rarely lost.
Recreational events such as co-ed
volleyball, and two-by-two basket
ball are sponsored by the In
tramural Office to provide students
with an activity of their own choos
ing. A Student Recreational Council
will be formed this Fall to allow stu
dent participation in the evaluation
of present activities and the im
plementation of new events. If you
wish to become a part of this coun
cil or obtain additional information
about Intramurals, contact Duane
Crider, Room 2, Erie Hall, or call
