ABOUT OUR WEB SITE

The Department of Recreational Sports first appeared on the web in August 1996. Some of our programs had their own web sites before that - some as early as 1994. Thanks to the Internet Archive, you can see how our web site has changed over the years.

Visit the Internet Archive for the University of Michigan Department of Recreational Sports.

Last year, our web site had its first major design change since 1998. We hope that you enjoyed visiting our site and were able to find the information that you were seeking.

Our web site is running IIS on a an AMD Athlon MP machine.

*Technically, these are not hits - rather, they are pages served. Because of the rather graphic-intensive nature of our web site, pages served provides us with a better indication of our web traffic than hits (which counts everything from HTML to images to scripts and everything in between).
