Orientation and Transition

Welcome Week

RecFest

An IU education will definitely exercise your mind, but you can keep your body fit too (and release some stress) through IU Recreational Sports.

At RecFest, you can try out some of the hundreds of programs and activities—such as intramural and club sports, aquatics, group exercise sessions, personal training, and strength training and conditioning—that are included in your automatic Rec Sports membership.

Don’t feel like climbing a wall or trying a martial art? Come for the free food, giveaways, entertainment, and games.
