Campus Recreation is conducting an onl-line survey to determine how they can better meet the needs of the community, specifically the Latino/Latina population. The information will be used to better prepare for the grand opening (projected Summer 2008.) of the renovation and expansion of the IMPE (Intramural-Physical Education) Building. You will have a chance to win a $25 Campus Rec gift certificate which can be used toward group fitness classes, intramurals, outdoor adventure clinics, and more! The survey takes 10-15 minutes of your time. Please complete the survey by Monday, November 5. You can find the survey by following the link https://webtools.uiuc.edu/survey/Secure?id=1082788.

Campus Rec Exercise/Eating Disorder Campaign's mission is to supply helpful information on topics that range from nutrition topics to "What is your motivation?". They do this by placing posters throughout CRCE in high traffic areas that will grab the students attention. They need your help by joining their focus groups (not a large time commitment) to critique their previous posters and give them fresh, creative, and new ideas for the two new posters they will create this year. They welcome both males & females. This is your opportunity to have your voices heard! Please call Abby Blankenberger at 333-7667 or email ablanke@uiuc.edu.
