Mission Statement: The primary mission of the Campus Recreation Department at East Tennessee State University is to provide high quality recreational facilities, programs, and services for the entire campus community - students, faculty, and staff.  The department's secondary mission is to create a marketable, meaningful work experience for its part-time employees (graduate assistants and student workers). Programs are available in five areas:  FITNESS INTRAMURALS NON-CREDIT INSTRUCTION OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SPORT CLUBS Facility times are set aside on a daily basis for self-directed recreational activities.  Previous athletic participation or high skill levels are not prerequisites for becoming involved in physical activity or recreational sports.  All programs are voluntary. Warning Statement There are hazards involved in any physical activities or sports.  Abrasions, contusions, dislocations, sprains, strains, and more serious injuries are all possible when "playing the game".  The Department of Campus Recreation makes every practical effort to insure safe recreational facilities, programs, and services.  Facility inspections are held on a daily basis.  Staff members attend  in-service meetings on safety issues on a regular basis.  A certified graduate assistant athletic trainer is on staff to provide first aid when possible and rehabilitation services when necessary.  Please be aware that ETSU maintains no blanket accident or health insurance coverage on persons participating in recreational activities on campus or sponsored programs off-campus.  Anyone injured in such programs will be responsible for any and all medical expenses.
