FISU Newsletter March 2020

Hello there,
Much has happened in this last fortnight, since we last reached out to you. Even as nearly half the world is in some sort of lockdown, we hope you continue to be well, safe and active!
We are currently in the fight of our lifetimes. In these difficult times, the university sports world has proved to be a united one. We are in this together - and to stay connected with all our athletes and fans, we launched the #FitAtHome campaign which hopefully many of you were a part of. FISU athletes, champions and even FISU staff have been getting into the act and showing their innovative ways of staying fit during these days of self isolation. If you missed it, just click here and below you will find a wrap of the biggest stories of the past two weeks.
Let's keep these conversations going and stay connected!
Take care.
