Broncos Belong

Campus Rec’s first commitment is to students and the members of our Boise State community. Our goal is to uphold this commitment by creating a more inclusive space. You matter to us and we want our policies and practices to reflect this. On this page are the ways that our facilities are creating access and our programs are cultivating a sense of belonging.

This is an on-going process and we would love your feedback on how to better serve you.
