新香港六合彩资料 begins installation of new dock for student recreation
On August 19, 2015, the first portion of the 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 new, removable Saco River dock was delivered, as the University moves forward with opening its waterfront for students鈥 recreational use.
The other segments of the dock will arrive within the next few days, and the project is scheduled to be completed within a week.
The dock, funded by Undergraduate Student Government (USG) in partnership with the student-led Recreation Council, will be used by a number of student groups. The University鈥檚 Rowing and Sailing Clubs look forward to greater access to the water and an expanded schedule of events this fall. Both groups will be able to hold daily practices seven days a week into November and starting again in late March. The clubs will also, for the first time, be able to host rowing and sailing competitions with the dock in place.
In addition, the dock will enhance the activities of 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 Scuba Club, which will use it for training and as a launch point for boat trips to dive sites.
鈥淭he Saco River waterfront is one of 新香港六合彩资料's largest assets,鈥 said Brian Wallace, assistant director of Student Involvement for Recreation and Wellness. 鈥淭he recreation dock represents an opportunity for every 新香港六合彩资料 student to access the water on a daily basis. Rowing and Sailing Club members are excited for the improved access and growth that this project will facilitate.鈥
Cynthia Forrest, Ed.D., vice president for Student Affairs, echoed Wallace鈥檚 sentiment. 鈥淯SG and Student Affairs are excited to move this strategic initiative forward by providing the dock, so students have greater recreational opportunities to enjoy our beautiful coast,鈥 she said.
