About the Program
Athletic Business and NIRSA are dedicated to helping campus recreation professionals succeed, and a big part of that success is looking ahead to the next generation and preparing emerging campus recreation professionals for their future roles. That's why we're excited to announce the first annual "The Next Generation of Campus Rec" program, highlighting eight outstanding students who are looking forward to a career in campus recreation, with one grand prize winner receiving an all-expenses paid trip to the NIRSA Annual Conference.
Eligible students are invited to submit an article based on their experience working for their institution's rec department, the impacts of college recreation programming on the student body or the future of college rec. Then, AB and NIRSA will select the top eight articles to appear in each standard issue of Athletic Business for the following year. On top of bragging rights for being published in a highly regarded industry magazine, each winner will also get to do a takeover of AB's Instagram account for one day in the month of their published article.
