FLORIDA CAMPUS
Anchor. Belay. Lead. This club is ‘chalking-up’ fun and community. There’s only one major requirement to participate in the ERAU Rock Climbing Club: “Be willing to try,” said the club’s president, Anthony Pipitone (’25), who’s double majoring in Space Physics and Astronomy & Astrophysics. With the addition of the new rock-climbing amenities on campus, students are invited to attend the club’s daily climbing sessions during the Fall and Spring semesters to expand the climbing community. Registered members also gain access to club gear, opportunities to climb off campus at nearby rock-climbing facilities and outdoor climbing excursions as a club.
NEXT LEVEL FITNESS For students who work hard, fitness and fun are key to life balance. That’s why Embry-Riddle broke ground in the Spring of 2021 on an expanded fitness complex. After opening this summer, the complex, Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Student Government Association (SGA) welcomed the 2022 Fall semester with a week full of activities, including a pool party and wellness expo for new and returning students, faculty and staff. “Our goal was to create a modern and cross-functional environment to encourage and educate a wider audience on personal fitness and well-being,” said Director of Embry-Riddle’s Fitness and Wellness Center, Greta LeDoyen. “Over the next year, we plan to focus on students’ needs and how they use the new facility.”
The facility encourages mental wellness and community, as well. New group fitness classes motivate participants at all levels to get involved, while student clubs and organizations are already utilizing facility resources. Consider learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the Martial Arts Self-Defense Club, find your rhythm with the Embry-Riddle Dancing Eagles or achieve new gains with the
Bodybuilding Club and many more. According to LeDoyen, “It takes one day of stepping in and trying something new to start improving your well-being.”
ROCK CLIMBING CLUB
Has more than 20 members from a variety of degree programs. Began in 2017 and originally met at DynoClimb, a local climbing facility 30 minutes away from Campus in DeLand. Looks forward to creating a collegiate rock-climbing team in the future. “Experience isn’t necessary to join,” said Josh Thyn (’25), an Aviation Maintenance Science major and club treasurer.
