RecWell Stories
Katie Burdick
What is your success story? Know that what you share may help
motivate others.
Being someone who never excelled in sports, I didn't think
RecWell would have many opportunities for me. Once I came to Grand
Valley, I discovered that that couldn't be father from the truth. I
found joy in staying healthy and using the RecWell resources to my
full advantage. RecWell has also given me an opportunity to grow in my
career field with joining their graphic design team!
Why do you participate in Recreation & Wellness programs,
services, or events?
I participate to stay social. When you meet new friends in
classes, living centers, and during extra-curriculars, it's great to
have opportunities (like group exercise classes) to get together and
reconnect with friends.
How has your involvement in Recreation & Wellness impacted
your experience at GVSU?
My involvement in Recreation & Wellness has impacted my time
at Grand Valley for the better. Having the chance to try new exercise
classes as well as learn about new wellness tips has been great for my
overall mental and physical health!
Which Recreation & Wellness programs or services have you
participated in?
Group Exercise, Employment
How do you unplug?
I unplug to spend quality time with the people I love. I want to
enjoy the simple joys in life without feeling the need to share it on
social media. Spending time in the outdoors helps me clear my mind and
recharge! I always feel 10x better after I go on a hike with a friend.
