Job Skill Development

They will act to articulate and embody departmental values, identify their unique contributions to the department’s mission and vision, recognize their own empowerment in their ability to perform their job functions and foster interdepartmental relationships, and positively and meaningfully collaborate with peers and colleagues to further refine the Campus Recreation experience for employees and patrons alike.

Leadership Development

Campus Recreation employees will act with intent to awaken their latent potential for ethical, effective, and transformational leadership in both the personal and professional spheres. They will engage in challenging socio-cultural conversations with peers, examine and deconstruct manifestations of oppression and systemic inequity, foster positive mentoring relationships, cultivate opportunities that affirm organizational values by working with others in service, and facilitate leadership learning in the on-campus workplace environment.

Professional Development

Campus Recreation employees will persistently seek to instill and refine within themselves skills, abilities, and perspectives that will meaningfully benefit them in their personal and professional aims. They will deepen their capacity for understanding and empathizing with the experiences and perspectives of others, enhance their communicative abilities in the pursuit of expressing their best, authentic selves, identify and translate commonalities and connections between their present role and future aims, and inculcate within themselves an unyielding drive for meaningful self-reflection and future growth.

Multicultural Competency Development

Campus Recreation employees will continually strive to identify intersections between justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the development of job proficiency, professional skills, and leadership aptitude. They will practice regular self-examination with intent to develop a critical consciousness and capacity for empathy, and will work towards building equity in purpose and demonstrating an active commitment to anti-racism in their values and actions.
