The Sports & Fitness House is estbalished
for the purpose of bolstering the overall physical and mental
health of its occupants and the enitre campus community.
Beyond raising awareness of teh importance of fitness in
general, the house will seek to highlight the benefits of
creating balance between academics, physical activity, and
nutrition. Additionally, we promote the addition of simple
actions such as considering healthy food selections, participating
in regular exercise, etc. and encourage the habituation
of these steps into the already hectic routines of Kalamazoo
College students. The house will be a source for any student
who is searching for a manner in which to truly better his
or her education and lifestyle.
The house will be a strong and positive
reference for the students of "K" regarding their
personal fitness. The house will act as a source of constant
motivation for those isnide and outside of the house, offering
a foundation of dedicated inviduals whose responsibility
to themselves and respect for others will hopefully serve
as inspiration to other.
