Students Climb Towards Health in Class

Retiring wilderness studies instructor Bill Webb led his rock climbing class on a three day trip to Joshua Tree National Park this past weekend.  The students began their trip bright and early on Friday morning, leaving CSULB at 6 a.m. and were only allowed to bring possessions in which they could carry around the entire weekend.

"We had to really watch what we packed," said Andrew Herzfeld, a student in Webb's class.  "Anything we brought was strapped to our back for three days."

This class only gives students a glimpse of the active classes available to students at CSULB.  Other healthy classes include swimming, sailing, jogging, and golfing.  

"Many students are unaware of the variety of classes offered on campus," Herzfeld said.  "These classes are a great way to get out of the typical lecture hall and out in the open.   Nothing beats a day out of the classroom."

Check out the Fall 2008 schedule of classes and be sure to sign up for one of these classes and take the next step in staying active at school!
