The Smart Choice

The Recreational Sports Complex offers students, faculty, staff, and alumni the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs and sports that support the university's educational environment, health, and wellness.

Visit the Olympic-size swimming pool, weight room, or cardiovascular theatre to work on your fitness goals on your own time. Or, join one of the many fitness classes held weekly during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

Ashley Bass

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.

My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.”  I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.

In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
