McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
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.
Overlooking the basketball courts, the indoor track is 200 meters long (approximately 8 laps per mile) and is divided into six lanes. The track is wheelchair accessible.
The Rec Center houses three full basketball courts that can be separated by partitions and divided into three volleyball courts, eight badminton courts, and two tennis courts. Basketball, volleyball, badminton, and tennis equipment are available for checkout.
There are four racquetball courts available for use, and racquets, balls, and protective eyewear are available for checkout. Due to the popularity of racquetball, making a reservation is recommended. Courts can be reserved up to two days in advance by calling 337-475-5425.
The four tennis courts closest to the Rec Complex building are equipped with lights for play after sundown. Racquets are available for checkout.
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.
