WREC Year End Report

OVERVIEW
The WREC is completing its eighth year at the end of Summer 2017.
There is much to be proud of and yet much still to accomplish.
The WREC’s strengths continue to be it accessibility, breadth of
programs, and its culture. Long hours, a welcoming atmosphere,
and a clean facility drive the WREC’s accessibility. From Adventure
Outings and aquatics to personal training and open recreation, the
WREC has something for everyone. WREC culture is the foundation
that makes all of the department’s successes possible. Credit for this
goes to the founding Directors, Rick and Kimberly Scott.
A collaborative leadership approach at the WREC combined with
phenomenal student and career staff, create a fun and forward leaning
environment. It is this culture and environment that ultimately
allow for consistent positive student experiences.
The purpose of this document is to provide a WREC review for the
2016-2017 year. As the WREC strives to make more data driven decisions,
this past year’s successes, challenges and opportunities will
be delivered as much as possible via metrics. However, anecdotal
evidence will also be provided.
This combination of information types is worthy of note. The WREC
is in the business of student success. Whether it is recruitment, retention,
or student development, the WREC’s modality for student
success is play, wellness, and adventure. Determining how successful
the WREC has been this past year in increasing student success
requires both measurements.
