naomi van walraven

Hello class of 2021! If I haven’t met you yet, my name is Naomi van Walraven and I want to represent YOU as the Athletics and Recreation First Year Rep.  As the rep, I want to promote healthy activities for ALL levels of fitness to get us moving during stressful times!  Some ideas I want to implement are fitness breaks during our 6-hour days of sitting, having lunch time Zumba, walking or yoga groups, and arranging weekend active outings in the GTA.

​

I will also be helping the 2nd representative with the smooth running of intramurals.  By organizing sports early, we will be able to accommodate everyone’s first choice of intramural sport.  I would also like to develop a system to match individuals with other faculty’s teams in cases where nursing does not field a specific sport.

​

Finally, I will also help coordinate Nursing Games and ensure that Bloomberg comes out as #1! To do this, I will use my experience as a previous fundraising organizer for Relay for Life to ensure a fair recruiting process, as well as organizing the logistics for a worry-free trip!  Moreover, I plan to host fundraising events so that anyone who wants to attend Nursing Games can participate.

​

Looking forward to an active, healthy semester with all of you!
