Welcome!
The upcoming months are going to be packed
with excitement as you begin your education here at Southern
Illinois University Carbondale. You will meet new people,
go new places, and try new things. The Recreational
Sports and Services staff hope that the Student Recreation Center
(SRC) will be one of those new places you explore.
As an enrolled SIUC student, you are eligible
to use the facility and participate in its programs. Your
SRC fee has already been included in your University fees
when you enrolled for classes. With the exception of paying
fees for certain programs, all you have to do is come to the
SRC or any of its facilities and have fun.
As the semester progresses, you will be busy
and spend less time recreating. Don’t let recreation
and exercise become a luxury. You will be more successful
in your studies if you take time each day to recreate.
Recreation can be any physical activity that
helps you to become stronger, faster, or just to have fun.
This gives your mind time to rest and prepare for homework
and classes. An equal balance of school and recreation helps
relieve stress. So start now!
No matter what sport or activity you’re interested in,
the Student Recreation Center has the right one for you! With
dozens of programs and activities, there is always something
to do. Look through the following list of activities and find
those that interest you and then come in, show up, and start
having fun.

Recreation, call Kathy Hollister at 618-453-1267.
