Spring will be here soon, and the weather is already warming up. If you鈥檙e ready to soak up some sun after being cooped up all winter, playing an outdoor intramural sport or going on an outdoor program trip are great ways to start.

Intramurals

In the upcoming session of intramurals, many of the sports are played outdoors- including soccer, flag football, and ultimate Frisbee.听 In addition to the great health benefits of exercise and sunlight, intramurals can be a great way to de-stress from the pressures of midterms, homework, and jobs. 鈥淚 play outdoor flag football every spring with my friends. It鈥檚 a lot of fun and it鈥檚 a great way for me to blow off some steam after class鈥, says senior Andrew Dorsey. 鈥淲e鈥檝e never won the championship T-shirts but we鈥檙e hoping to win this year鈥.
