As the majority of us await our turn to strut across

the graduation stage, one of our Campus Rec 2009

graduates had this to say about their plans:

“After graduation I will be working as a therapeutic recrea-

tion intern at Lauren Ridge Treatment Center in San Antonio.

In October, I will take my certification exam to be a Nation-

ally Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and hope to

remain in San Antonio or find a job in Austin or the sur-

rounding areas.” Bailey Brown, Bachelor’s in Recreation

Administration major, May 2009

“I will be attending the NIRSA Conference next week to fur-

ther establish my search for my dream Club Sports job post

graduation. I am hoping to move to a coastal location and

work with college students in the field I love. Until then, I

will take advantage of my summer and enjoy the river and

outdoors.” Catherine Garland, Sport Clubs Grad Assistant,

Masters in Student Affairs, May 2009.

Useful Tips:

1. Register for graduation through your department.

2. When you have purchased your cap and gown, hang it up and

let creases disappear.

3. Update your resume. Employers seek a strong resume and

cover letter that stands out from an application pool.

4. Mail out graduation invitations to everyone!
