Student Perspective

Competing for a good cause

The Department of Recreation & Wellness and Alpha Chi Omega sorority held an indoor triathlon at the Kaplan Center last weekend. Participants competed in swimming, cycling and running segments to raise funds for the sorority’s chosen philanthropic project, the domestic violence shelter Clara House in Greensboro.


A night of Champions

There were championships aplenty last Wednesday at the Kaplan Center as several intramural leagues brought their seasons to a close. With championships in Indoor Soccer, Basketball & Dodgeball, there was a lot of action throughout the evening.
