DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University’s Recreation and Physical Education department provides students on campus with an opportunity to participate in a variety of sport clubs each semester, as 37 separate teams were made available during the 2015-16 academic year. Comprised of approximately 1,300 students, the organization is the second largest student group on campus, allowing individuals to develop relationships with other students, while also establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and developing transferable life skills. As Duke’s Sport Clubs continue to thrive in Durham, members of the recreation and physical education department recently met with Jim and Audrey Gorter to discuss the successes of sport clubs from this past season, as well as the future vision of the program.
