Graduate students are invited to join after 20 hours of work with a 3.9 average. Special Resources and Opportunities Gymkana Troupe. The Gymkana troupe is a group of highly disciplined young men and women who place a high priority on education and who engage in gymnastics for purposes of recreation, health, and personal development. Each member has pledged himself or herself to a drug-free lifestyle in hopes of acting as a role model so others might be motivated to do the same. Gymkana travels throughout the United States during February and March, performing once a week, and ending the season with its annual gymnastic performance at the university.
Membership is open to all students regardless of their gymnastic ability.
Gymkana is co-sponsored by the College of Health and Human Performance and the Student Government Association.
