Meet the Wellness Center Staff
The philosophy of OPERS is to promote physical education and wellness as an essential part of the total educational experience, while meeting the diverse recreational needs of UCSC students, faculty, staff and community members. We serve the student with little or no experience as well as the competitive athlete seeking peak performance. Our courses, activities and programs promote lifetime wellness and offer a variety of challenges.
The following are the people that help make this happen...
