The Office of Campus Recreation and
Wellness
 The
Office of Campus Recreation and Wellness at Barry is based on the
philosophy of wholesome recreation and the right to play. By providing
students, faculty, and staff with a well-rounded program, a safe
environment, and a chance to challenge themselves, there is "something
for everyone." Recreation at Barry encourages all constituents
to become involved in an activity of their choice. Recreation serves
as an opportunity to meet new people and develop a lifestyle of
fun and fitness.
