Facilities
The PAP collaborates with Intercollegiate Athletics and University Recreation and Wellness to host courses in state-of-the-art facilities. Some of these facilities include the University Recreation and Wellness Center, Huntington Bank Stadium, and Mariucci Arena. This collaboration and commitment to offering a broad range of educational opportunities ensures students receive the best instructional experiences. It also exposes them to the wide variety of activities available on campus.
Research has shown that the use of recreation facilities positively impacts retention and graduation rates. These collaborations provide opportunities that encourage students' commitment to lifelong learning, health, and well-being.
