One of AURAK’s goals is to develop and maintain physical fitness among all members of the University community. For many AURAK students sports activities are an essential component of their student experience. Students participating in these sports activities can develop leadership skills, teamwork, discipline, as well as a competitive spirit! Participation in sports positively contributes to the physical and mental health of student athletes.
