Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation: The Mission

CBU’s Recreation & Intramural Department’s mission is to provide all students the opportunity to pursue activities and recreation through programs that promote physical activity and a healthy well-being. The Department’s activities and recreation are devoted to creating many opportunities for all students to get involved, not just on campus, but throughout the Memphis community.

Vision

The vision of the Recreation & Intramural Department is to become a key component of student engagement on the campus of Christian Brothers University. For students interested in pursuing a career in Sports Management or recreation and leisure services, you will be afforded a hands-on learning experience outside the classroom to strengthen your knowledge and understand of the field.

Learning Outcomes

As a result of participation in the Christian Brothers University’s Intramural, Recreation, and Community Participation programs, students will have demonstrated:

  • Teamwork, community building and sportsmanship on and off the field of play.
  • Participation in physical activity as well as improving physical and mental health.
  • Strengthen leadership skills, develop initiative, and embrace independence when working in groups and teams.
  • Familiarity, visitation, and use of recreational facilities (including the Swashbuckler and the Salvation Army Kroc Center).
  • Service to 75% of the total student population at Christian Brothers University.
