Summer is a great time to think about a career in parks and

recreation. We have had several students who have done

internships at local parks as well as the University’s Cam-

pus Recreation and Wellness Center. Those experiences

have led some of you to make a career in this area. Re-

member that your degree is in Sport and Recreation Man-

agement. Some students strictly think about working for a

professional or college team. You just might be pleasantly

surprised about how rewarding parks and recreation can

be. You have an opportunity to serve many people, people

of all ages! Thank you to the cities of Coconut Creek and

Hialeah who feature internships in this issue of the NSU

Sport and Recreation Management Newsletter.

INTERNSHIP REQUIREMENTS NEW AND TRANSFER STUDENTS

Practicums and internships are a great way to get experi-

ence and network. Starting this fall, new students includ-

ing transfers majoring in Sport and Recreation will be re-

quired to do an internship. Therefore, it is never to early

to meet with Professor Olson to start planning an experi-

ence. Reading the newsletters is a great way to get to

know what is being offered. If you don’t see what you

would like to do, Professor Olson will help you explore

how to find an appropriate experience for you.
