College & University Relations Committee Recruitment CD

Print this article | Send to Colleague

How did you learn about the field of parks & recreation? Were you a lifeguard or a camp counselor as a high school student? Did you work part time in the summers and have a great boss who told you about parks & recreation as a college major? Did you "fall into" this career?

The IPRA College & University Relations Committee has launched a campaign to recruit young people into the field of Parks & Recreation. Acknowledging that this is often a "discovery" career - many high school & college aged students often do not realize that it is a planned course of study - the CURC partnered with Greg Bizarro of Jaffe Films to produce an informational iCD that can be shown to agency staff (lifeguards, day camp counselors, etc.)

The video is also available online.  Be sure to check out the "Day in the Life" videos!
