CONGRATULATIONS 👏 to Anna, Fitness Programs Staff and one of our April 2024 Employees of the Month!⁠
⁠
Anna has worked for Campus Rec since September 2022 and was part of supporting fitness programs when we opened the Campus Rec Hub. At that time, she served as a fitness attendant and group fitness instructor. Anna has had enthusiasm for Campus Rec and fitness since day one. Students are attracted to her fitness classes because of her upbeat attitude and inspiring coaching skills. In Fall 2023, Anna stepped up as the interim fitness coordinator to help support the success of the Hub. Our Hub Staff have enjoyed her positive energy and attention to detail regarding keeping the operations running smoothly. Instructors have commented positively on her impact and noted it as “one of the best places to teach in Burlington”. Her ability to juggle all this while being a full-time student is remarkable. We are grateful for Anna and all she has done for Campus Rec.

Lastly, to end our 2023-2024 intramural season, congratulations to our two volleyball champions. 🏆️🏐

And a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support their friends throughout the sessions and all of the campus rec staff who put in so much hard work to make it all happen!

Today's team is ⚽️ Soggy Balls ⚽️

"Our team was formed during one of the very first weeks of freshman year in 2021. A couple of us lived on Wilks 3, made a group chat, and added anyone we knew who played soccer. 3 years, 5 championship wins, 4 name changes later and the team is still together. Intramural soccer is the highlight of our semesters and it's a great way for all of us to come together and play a sport we love!"

Today's team is 💖 Doja Cat Fan Club 💖

"We created the team during our sophomore year and titled it, Doja Cat Fan Club because one of our team members is a huge fan of her. We all came together through mutual friends and quickly bonded as a team through Flag Football. Even though we didn't have a successful season, we ended our first session as a solid team and later went onto play broomball, volleyball, and kickball! What sets us apart is our commitment to not only celebrating Doja's artistry, but also our custom pink uniforms made by team member Micah. We are looking forward to some great intramural sessions coming up!"
