We are now hiring climbing wall staff for summer and fall of 2015. For more information or to apply, email Steven Rubin. (steven.r.rubin@vanderbilt.edu)


Walking Wednesdays are back starting April 1-€¦and that-€™s no April Fool-€™s Joke! The Vanderbilt Recreation and Wellness Center-€˜s group fitness coordinator, Lori Cowan, will be leading a group every Wednesday around the campus for 30 minutes.   They meet at the Eskind Library around 11:30 am and do some quick stretches before the walk. When it rains, the group walks in the tunnels. Rain or shine, we want the Vanderbilt community to have a weekly healthy stress outlet.   The event is open to students, faculty, or staff within the Vanderbilt community.

For questions, contact Lori Cowan at lori.l.cowan@vanderbilt.edu
