We have access to LinkedIn learning but they haven't been pushing it. I do that regularly with my student managers who are working remotely.
Natalie Broder, ECU
We’ve done Esports tournaments, trick shots challenges on Instagram, fitness classes on instagram live and facebook live, “app of the week” with a nature focus to get students outside.
Chasity Holstick
LinkedIn learning for Rec staff to earn hours
Natalie Broder, ECU
student employee-wise, i came up with some activities for them to complete on canvas (online class portal ECU uses). they are fun though - like filling out an accident report on a scene from your favorite TV show. practicing skills for work, but still fun and can take their minds off quarantine.
Sandra Ondracka
Sandra - University of Windsor Canada - we have developed a FT and student staff engagement plan. It is based on the dimensions of wellness, and each day we focus on a dimension or combination of them. Within the daily/weekly plan we have employee challenges, professional development, virtual game nights and many more activities to keep them engaged with us.
DeVanee Lasley
we are working on special projects for our students. a lot of our programs have been canceled for the summer. so we are working through a plan b now. we celebrated student appreciation week this week and created a video for our students and had trivia nights with them.

Sandra Ondracka
Our perspective from the rec department during this time is more than ever prove to campus and those unaware of what the rec program offers to campus life, what we have to offer. How we create community, build leaders and influence the well being of our students.
