The 2017 report examines the relationship between campus recreation activity (i.e., recreation center visits and intramural participation) and academic success for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Overall, half of all enrolled undergraduates visited the recreation center and 12% played on an intramural team. Undergraduate students who visited the recreation center at least once or played on at least one intramural team had higher term GPAs and were more likely to persist than those who do not visit the recreation center or participate on an intramural team.
