Part of NIRSA’s Recreation 101 Virtual Course Series
Recreation 101 Virtual Courses are fully online, asynchronous experiences, meaning participants can take them whenever they like and at their own pace. Each virtual course is anchored by roughly four hours of on-demand video content designed and taught by functional area experts.
Learn the foundations of student development
Are you new to supervising college students? As professional staff within campus recreation departments, we all incorporate student development into our day-to-day responsibilities, often without realizing it. But how can you enhance your interactions with students to ensure they maximize the value of their employment experience with our programs, facilities, and services?
This virtual course will provide an introductory-level overview of what student development means within the realm of higher education student employment, providing theoretical background knowledge along with practical applications. Course participants will learn how to engage with students throughout their employment journey, from the hiring and onboarding processes to graduation and beyond.
