Leigh Zimmermann joined UREC in 2025 and is the Coordinator of Adventure & TEAM Programs. She oversees the TEAM Challenge Course, dedicated to teambuilding programs for groups of all types, and Adventure Equipment Rentals, where JMU students, faculty, and staff can rent many types of gear for outdoor adventures.

Leigh has a background in Environmental and Marine Science and loves to help people feel comfortable in enjoying and exploring the outdoors! She has facilitated teambuilding and personal challenge elements at three unique sites and has over 500 hours of facilitation experience and training on both low and high challenge courses.

In her free time, Leigh can be found walking her dog, paddling a kayak, or knitting her next creation. Leigh's favorite aspect of UREC is the encouraging and positive energy that students and professional staff bring to each shift, each day, and each opportunity.
