February 14 is another engagement opportunity with unique Valentine’s Day events. From dinners hosted in your recreation facility to heart-themed exercise programming, there are numerous event ideas you could be taking advantage of.
Learn about the special Valentine’s Day events other campus recreation departments hosted in 2018:
Eastern Kentucky University
Renee Leonard, the assistant director of Health Promotion:
“The theme of the event was ‘Self-love is the best love. Celebrate V-Day by loving yourself.’ It’s always good to make yourself a priority once in a while and with this event, students will learn ways to build self-esteem and practice self-love.
“We are also partnering with Student Health Services and the Madison County Health Department to promote healthy relationships. We will have giveaways, chocolates, cookies and an atmosphere filled with positivity and love.”
Ohio University
Joe Schillero, the assistant director of Campus Recreation, Fitness and Wellness:
“Ohio University’s Department of Campus Recreation will be hosting a Valentine’s Day-themed group fitness event, dubbed Cardio with Cupid.
“Cardio with Cupid provides the unique opportunity to sample multiple fun group fitness formats. They are designed for whether you are brand new to group fitness or an experienced class-goer. As such, the blending of multiple formats into one class with the theme of Valentine’s Day provides a great opportunity to shake up your day and break a sweat while having fun.”
