The Rec Sports Fellows program is an experiential learning opportunity offered to a cohort of current student employees to expand their knowledge of campus recreation beyond their primary staff role. A key feature of this program is that all participants spend time with all areas of the Department of Recreational Sports. During the rotation among areas, the program participants will broaden their knowledge of the myriad functions of campus recreation as well as build their individual knowledge, skills and abilities. The ultimate goal of this program is to prepare students for the “life after college” process of career readiness.
