COVID Conversation Series – University of Arkansas

In this Region IV COVID Conversation, we talk with University Recreation Executive Director Jeremy Battjes. The Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) building has been reopened since Monday, July 6, for Phase 1. During this “Jeremy” edition, Battjes highlights the challenges in repurposing spaces with a limited footprint and multiple access points while addressing the need to increase student staffing due to those changes and state regulations. Battjes also addresses UREC’s hybrid and/or adapted programming options, a tiered approach to sport clubs and some unique twists on outdoor programming. Under Battjes’ leadership, UREC has and will continue to pivot with purpose!
