Students who are employed by your department of campus recreation and go above and beyond are not only an asset to your college or university—they’re an essential part of the future of collegiate recreation.

Show these students that their outstanding efforts and commitments are appreciated; nominate them for a 2013 William N.

Wasson Student Leadership and Academic Award.

The William N. Wasson Student Leadership and Academic Awards recognize top students in collegiate recreation who participate in or are employed by the Department of Recreational Sports. Presented at the Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo in Nashville, Tennessee, awards will be conferred for both graduate and undergraduate students.
