Women's Recreation Association collection
Abstract
The Women's Recreation Association collection documents the activities and events of the WRA. Before the EMU had school sponsored sports for women, the WRA gave all female students an opportunity to participate in athletics. The WRA was originally known as the Women's Athletic Association, or the WAA. The WRA was an active organization on campus. Members could participate in almost every sport from bowling to modern dance, camping to archery, and basketball. Records date from 1928-1970.
