Recreation Supervisors in VSU Campus Recreation serve as part of the leadership team under the supervision of the Director of Campus Recreation. The Recreation Supervisor is considered a “working manager” position which means that along with the supervisory duties associated with the position (time approval, performance management, goal setting, assignment of daily duties, etc.), the Rec Supervisor is also expected to perform many of the same duties as their employees. They not only plan the programming and events but also assist in implementing them, as well as the daily functions needed to run their areas. This often requires work beyond the 40-hour work week and outside the regular campus office operating hours. Since Campus Recreation is open on weekends and evenings, the leadership team is typically involved in activities and supervision of events during those times as part of their teams’ overall operations.
