About Us

Home  /   About Us

The Health Promotion and Well-being Center (The Well) has merged with Recreational Sports to form a new department: VCU Recreation and Well-Being (RecWell). 

RecWell was created to bring together two separate departments with the same vision of making VCU a healthier and happier place to learn, work, and grow.

Even though our name has changed, the commitment of both Recreational Sports and the Health Promotion and Well-Being Center to you has not changed. We are still continuing to offer the high-quality programs and services you have come to expect and rely on. For regular updates and offers from our new RecWell department, sign up for our member newsletter, follow RecWell on RamsConnect, or both! 

 

RecWell's Mission

We advance student success by empowering the VCU community to prioritize well-being, connect with others, and learn through play.
