Don’t work out with a partner at the Recreational Eagle Center or the La Crosse fitness center | Do ask a friend to hike in the bluffs or visit the marsh with you, where you can walk six feet apart Do go to the REC and practice physical distancing Do rent outdoor equipment from Outdoor Connection at the Recreational Eagle Center Do participate in a virtual workout from the REC with your roommate |

Don’t study in a large group in the library | Do plan small study groups outside. The campus is your classroom. Try the stadium as a new study spot! |
