Campus Recreation and the Morris University Center (MUC) have partnered to create a satellite fitness facility for SIUE students in the Student Success Center (SSC). An open house in the SSC, Room 0206 on Monday, Jan. 9 featured the converted space that is now a small work-out facility, similar to the concept featured in SIUE residence halls. This allows expanded recreational opportunities for students, particularly during hours when the MUC is open and the Fitness Center is closed.
 
The room features cardio equipment with a treadmill, two ellipticals, and recumbent stationary bike, as well as a dual adjustable pulley, providing an opportunity for resistance strength training and stretching mat.
 
“The response from the students at the open house was overwhelmingly positive,” said Amanda Couch, fitness coordinator in Campus Recreation.  “Our students like having the option of getting a quick workout in between studying or working on group projects in the Student Success Center. The fitness room is another example of Student Affairs meeting the needs of an active and engaged student population.”
 
In addition to the expanded hours, Campus Recreation hopes that by adding this convenient option across campus, more students will have the opportunity and be encouraged to engage in physical activity, which holds a number of benefits including reducing stress levels, lowering risk for illness and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

We need your help! Ready to do a little cleaning in your closet?
 
Each year we have students that are in need of professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events, and practicum/co-op/internship experiences. Unfortunately, not all students have the resources to obtain the appropriate attire for these occasions.
 
The Career Development Center is taking donations of professional attire items through Tuesday, Jan. 31 in preparation for its spring recruiting season. We will, of course, take ongoing donations outside of this timeframe, but this will be the first major push to get as many initial items as possible.
 
We are accepting both men’s and women’s attire. All items need to be in good condition and already clean and ready to be given to students.
 
Items can include:

• suits
• dresses
• skirts
• dress pants/khakis
• sweater sets
• polos
• blouses
• belts
• ties
• anything that could be worn for a professional event with employers
• anything that would be appropriate as a starting point for a professional wardrobe

We are hoping to get a variety of sizes and options so that we can make this service available to any student in need.
 
Items can be dropped off in the Career Development Center (Student Success Center 0281) during regular business hours.
 
Please contact the Career Development Center at 618-650-3708 with any questions.
