What is SRA?
-
from Scott Haire, SRA President

        Wondering just what SRA is?  Officially, SRA stands for Student Recreation Association and is the majors club for the department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Mangement.  Although the primary purpose of SRA is to provide activities and social events for recreation faculty, staff and students, SRA is also open to any other faculty or students who are interested in participating.

        Our purpose is broad.  We strive to promote interest and appreciation of recreation; encourage fellowship among students; develop student and faculty interaction; inform students of opportunities available to them; form and spread interest in the Parks, Recreation and Tourism profession to students within the department and throughout the university; and finally, to provide servcies within the PRTM department and/or outside the organization that involve recreational or environmental characteristics.

        As you can see, that's a tall order to fill.  And you may be wondering just how SRA is going to fill this order.  Well, we're going to start out with lots of varied opportunities for YOU--many of which will be posted on this web page.  From the weekly P.O.E.T.S. get together, to the combined SRA/Rho annual picnic, or the Rho/SRA professional guest speaker series, there will be many chances for you to get involved!

        I encourage you to talk with past members, faculty, or any 1998/99 officer to get the low down on SRA.  Check out meeting dates and times, activities and everything going on in this month's newsletter.  I think you'll be impressed!!
