New: February 22 is National Recreational Sports & Fitness Day!
From coast to coast, college and university celebrations are taking place to honor National Recreational Sports & Fitness Day. On February 22 in 1950, Dr. William Wasson organized a meeting of 22 African-American men and women intramural directors from 11 Historically Black Colleges and Universities at the first Intramural Conference at Dillard University in New Orleans. They formed the National Intramural Association, NIRSA's precursor.

On Thursday, schools from every region have arranged festivals, fit challenges, open houses, run/walk events, celebrity guest speakers, demonstrations, social events, or special activities for employees or youth. Thanks to all of you for joining with NIRSA to help spread the word about why we do what we do!

Please email photos of your campus celebration to Mary Callender at ma...@nirsa.org with "NIRSA Day" in the subject line. We'll share them with other NIRSA Members in an upcoming issue of NIRSA Know.
