WHY WORK AT NORTHWESTERN RECREATION?


“Working in campus recreation has provided me with opportunities to develop important real-life skills (like emergency response) but has also given me the ability to teach these skills to others and develop my own leadership skills.” -Jenna V. | Aquatics Student Manager

"Campus recreation at Northwestern is a thrilling and fast-paced environment. Working alongside the HCSP team has granted me great leadership skills and the attention to detail I need in my future career.“  -Terry K. | Student Supervisor

“What I really enjoy about working at the gym is that I get to see the diversity of people that enter the building on a regular basis. Every day I see a new person or have a novel interaction with someone. I think that this is really representative of the campus as a whole. “ -Sedoo L. | Building Supervisor
