Facility Supervisors

Facility Supervisors (FSs) are responsible for the overall supervision of the Student Recreation Center. More specifically, Facility Supervisors are responsible for all of the duties involved with daily operations of the facility, supervising other Recreational Sports personnel and Recreation Center programs and enforcing Recreational Sports Department rules and regulations.

These duties include, but are not limited to, opening and closing the Student Recreation Center; being knowledgeable of department programs, activities, and policies; appropriately handling patron disputes and complaints; emergency management; maintaining patron and employee safety and rapport; and upholding a level of professionalism required of all Recreational Sports employs.

FSs will work in conjunction with the Student Development Graduate Assistant, the Student Development Assistant Director, other Student Recreation Center staff and each other in fulfilling these duties.
