Week 6

My efforts this week were focused on arranging hospitality needs for the Powerade Invitational Tournament players coming to Hoop City in San Antonio, Texas this spring. One perk the players have by participating in the tournament is having the chance to win tickets to the NCAA Final Four.

I have also been working on a couple articles for the efast and preparing presentations for the annual conference. I am especially excited about going to the annual conference this year because I will be able to see old friends and finally meet the NIRSA members I have been working with from a distance.

NIRSA National Center Fun Fact of the Week:
Kent Blumenthal, the NNC Executive Director has a fun way to recognize and celebrate outstanding NNC accomplishments. Everyone in the office knows that something exciting is about to happen with Kent rings the gold bell three times. When we hear the bell, everyone rushes to his office to hear about the newest exciting developments. Recently we have had a couple of very exciting Bell Ringers:

-The first campus recreation textbook, Campus Recreation: Essentials for the Professional, produced by NIRSA is now published and available for classroom use!
