In the September 2020 issue of Athletic Business Magazine, writer Michael Popke catches up with four NIRSA members to see how colleges and universities around the country are building community for the first fall term after the onset of a global pandemic and given the context of a summer absorbed by the Black Lives Matter movement.

VP, Senior Director for Recreation & Health Promotion at the University of Florida, Rick Hall, Director of Recreational Sports at Texas A&M University-College Station, Mary O’Mahoney, Director of the Student Recreation Center California State University- Bakersfield, and Earnest Washington, Director of Campus Recreation & Wellness at Lincoln University discuss how recreation professionals are key players in rebooting campus life.
