Physical Education Classes

Women's Recreation Wednesday

This week’s photos are from Women’s Recreation Association Physical Education classes on campus. If you’re interested in learning more about the history of Physical Education classes for women, there’s a great book titled “Active Bodies: A History of Women’s Physical Education in Twentieth-Century America” by Martha H. Verbrugge!

Stay tuned for next week’s installment of Women’s Recreation Wednesday, where we’ll talk about the ROTC and women’s rifle team!
