Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management

PERKS Council

All Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management students are members of the Physical Education Recreational Kinesiology Student Council (or PERKS). The council, elected by the student body, is dedicated to clearly communicating and promoting opportunities—for all students in all programs—that enrich academic learning, professional development, and social experiences that create a positive sense of community membership.

About us

We serve all undergraduate students in FKRM by:

Providing current information about professional and career developments in physical education, recreation, and kinesiology.
Promoting active living and social well-being by offering a wide range of positive and fun social events throughout the year.
Representing student interests to staff and professors in our programs, the University of Manitoba Students’ Union (UMSU), Senate, and other professional organizations in the community.

We also organize all sorts of other activities such as graduation celebration, grad pictures, rings and clothing that showcase student pride in being members of FKRM.

We always want input from the student body to find new ways to improve the student environment in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management. Please email us or stop by the student lounge at 194 Extended Education if you have any questions, comments, concerns or just want to hang out! Our email address is: perkscouncil@gmail.com.
