Facilities
PAP closely collaborates with Intercollegiate Athletics, the Department of Recreational Sports and University Equine Center to host courses in state-of-the-art facilities such as the University Recreation and Wellness Center, Huntington Bank Stadium, and Mariucci Arena. This collaboration and commitment to providing a broad range of educational opportunities offers students the best instructional experiences, and exposes students to the depth and breadth of activities available on campus. Research has shown that use of recreation facilities positively impacts retention and graduation rates, and these collaborations provide opportunities that encourage students' commitment to lifelong learning, health, and well-being.
