Climbing Wall

UNK's rock climbing wall is 30 feet high with seven rope stations, and the possibility of thousands of hold combinations to ensure your climbing experience will never be the same.

Employee Health

UNK Employee Health and Wellness Program provides an organized program that assists employees in making behavior changes for healthier lifetimes.

Research & Outreach

The Physical Activity and Wellness Lab allows students to better apply what they’re learning in the classroom. The Wellness Center features a demonstration kitchen, used during wellness and nutrition classes.

Today's students are so much more attuned to the relationship of their bodies and minds together, and working their muscles and cardiovascular systems, and how their physical and mental wellness are one in the same. By exercising their bodies and minds here in these physical activities areas, they are better students and citizens.
