Unified Sports Promotes Social Inclusion
Campus Recreation facilities and programs serve Penn State students, faculty, staff, and community with a diverse offering of wellbeing opportunities to enhance the student experience at University Park.
This season, Campus Recreation is proud to host Special Olympic athletes and Penn State partners in their Unified Intramural (IM) Sports Leagues. Campus Recreation began to offer Unified Sports in Spring of 2019 with basketball. The program has grown from one game to several sport offerings throughout the year. Unified Sports promotes social inclusion by joining people with and without intellectual disabilities together to play on the same team. It offers Penn State students and Special Olympic athletes the opportunity to form friendships and enjoy sports together.
