History of UREC
For many of you, it is hard to believe the Student Recreation Center will celebrate five outstanding years of service to the WSU community during the Spring 2006 semester. It still seems like just yesterday this magnificent building opened its doors to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. However, the last five years have brought wonderful memories, numerous enhancements, countless awards and even a stint as a residence hall. Join us as we take a look back at the last five years.
