OUR VALUES T

he University of Missouri-Columbia, as the state’s major land grant university, honors the public trust placed in it and accepts the associated accountability to the people of Missouri for its stewardship of that trust. Our duty is to acquire, create, transmit, and preserve knowledge, and to promote understanding. We the students, faculty, and staff of MU hold the following values to be the foundation of our identity as a community. We pledge ourselves to act, in the totality of our life together, in accordance with these values.

RESPECT

Respect for one’s self and for others is the foundation of honor and the basis of integrity. A hallmark of our community is respect — for the process by which we seek truths and for those who engage in that process. Such respect is essential for nurturing the free and open discourse, exploration, and creative expression that characterize a university. Respect results in dedication to individual as well as collective expression of truth and honesty. Respect is demonstrated by a commitment to act ethically, to welcome difference, and to engage in open exchange about both ideas and decisions.

DISCOVERY

Learning requires trust in the process of discovery. Discovery often fractures existing world views and requires acceptance of uncertainty and ambiguity. Therefore, the university must support all of its members in the lifelong process that is both challenging and rewarding. As we seek greater understanding and wisdom, we also recognize that knowledge itself has boundaries — what we know is not all that is.

RESPONSIBILITY

EXCELLENCE

A sense of responsibility requires careful reflection on one’s moral obligations. Being responsible imposes the duty on us and our university to make decisions by acknowledging the context and considering consequences, both intended and unintended, of any course of action. Being responsible requires us to be thoughtful stewards of resources — accountable to ourselves, each other, and the public we serve.

We aspire to an excellence which is approached through diligent effort, both individual and collective. Pursuing excellence means being satisfied with no less than the highest goals we can envision. Pursuing excellence involves being informed by regional, national, and global standards, as well as our personal expectations. We recognize and accept the sacrifices, risks, and responsibilities involved in pursuing excellence, and so we celebrate each other’s successes. We commit ourselves to this process in an ethical and moral manner.

In addition to the institutional values, MizzouRec has identified three more guiding values. These statements are mere words until we integrate them as values in our individual lives and reflect them in our institutional policies and practices. We pledge ourselves to make them effective in the very fabric of our lives, our community, and all our relationships with others, thereby enhancing the development of individuals and the well-being of society.

RELATIONSHIPS Our success depends on the quality of our interactions and the clarity of our communication with others. Forming, nurturing and maintaining positive relationships is the ideal outcome of our time together at work, in class and at leisure. To this end, MizzouRec works tirelessly to provide an outstanding environment to cultivate relationships that last a lifetime.

PHILANTHROPY MizzouRec has been given great gifts of support and wonderful resources from generations of students and administrators at MU. It is part of our culture to share appropriately and wisely with a variety of worthwhile causes and initiatives.

AUTHENTICITY In a world filled with brands, labels, expectations and images, it is important that each of us reserve time daily to connect to our true selves.

Placing an organizational value on authenticity means that being genuine in our words and our deeds is important and a priority.

STATE OF THE NATION Welcome to Mizzou.

Welcome BACK to Mizzou.

And now, a life lesson about a life lived well.

Over the Easter weekend this spring, I corresponded electronically with my former associate director of many years and good friend, John Haller. We’ve kept in touch over the years, but this time he had some significant news for me.

He had just been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. As John put it, “I need a miracle.” Since then, he has been dealing with Mayo-level treatments for the past four months. It’s with this in mind that I want to share his story with you.

I met John on the intramural sports fields at St. Cloud State University on a warm spring weekend in 1982.

Yes, it was a long time ago. He was nineteen and I was the director of intramural-recreational sports and facilities. John was a brand new student staff member. A talented and avid Legion baseball program player, he was applying his skills on the field by organizing our weekend softball tournaments.

My first impression of John came from across the field. He stood in the middle of the four diamonds, confidently and efficiently dispensing information and directions to team captains. Perfectly groomed and outfitted for the work, he looked the part and was clearly in charge of the task at hand.

Eyes fixed on the center of the field, I asked my assistant, “Who IS that guy?”

“That’s John Haller,” he replied, “I hired him last week to help with the games.”

I thought it, but I didn’t say it as I walked out over the outfield to introduce myself. THIS guy has IT. Shortly after that event and our first meeting, John became my student associate director by the next fall semester. He had applicable skills, confidence, presence and an urgency to learn and commitment to excellence. When I left St. Cloud State University three years later for a new director position at Illinois State University, John, with still two semesters to finish in his undergraduate degree in English, was named the acting director and paid at professional scale.

6

The day I left St. Cloud I told John that I had a hunch we might work together again. We agreed that we would both like that very much.

What’s the point, you may well ask. The point is this: a 19 year old student secured a job on campus with intramural sports at minimum wage. In three years, he developed a valuable skill set and established important relationships which led him to a position at a professional level before completing his degree.

In short, he parlayed his academic preparation, life experiences and student staffing experiences into a position of confidence and importance on campus. And it yielded significant rewards to him for a great future. Yes, the tale gets better.

Following graduation, John applied for an assistant director of recreation position at University of MissouriKansas City (UMKC.) With his freshly minted degree in hand and his St. Cloud State University experiences under his belt, John beat out three other candidates for the positions. All of the other candidates had completed master’s degrees while John only had a bachelor’s degree. Experience combined with education and strong skill sets won the day.

Within three years at UMKC, John married the love of his life, Sandy, had his first son, Rob, completed his master’s degree and enjoyed a successful stint in a good-sized campus recreation department.

He was 26 years old. A brand new associate director position opened at Illinois State University (ISU) in campus recreation. It was a big job with a large department, including a

full-service, 18-hole golf course to operate.

John Haller applied for the position.

The candidate pool for the position was highly competitive. But when the interviews were over and the evaluations were reviewed, John was offered the position. He moved his family to Normal, Illinois and spent eight great years as our associate director at campus rec. During his tenure at ISU, John made a strong series of contributions. The dedicated softball field project and the Courage Classic to benefit recreation facilities and Special Olympics are just two of the many John Haller highlights. And on the home front, John and Sandy added two more handsome additions to their trio of towheaded sons, Corey and Joel.

As time passed, John and Sandy felt the tug of family and decided to move back to St. Cloud, Minnesota. In the fall of 1997, John was appointed athletic director and director of student life at St. Cloud Technical and Community College. Once again, John marshaled up all of his experiences and skills and talents to win over the search committee and take the leap into an athletic directorship. Over the past nearly sixteen years he has built a tremendous career with the Cyclones and impacted hundreds of young lives. It is life filled with accomplishment, pride, contribution, family and love.

One April 1, John tweeted:

John has always been a good thinker, the kind of person who can problem-solve, create and keep positive. So as he embarked on his treatments, it didn’t surprise me at all to see his message. Imagination. As a young man, John formed an idea about who he could be and what kind of life he might live. He prepared. He sacrificed. He had some disappointments, but got right up again and kept his dreams alive through hard work, focus and perseverance. He imagined how beautiful his life could be and then went about the business of building that life, loving his family, celebrating his friendships and impacting the world around him with excellence.

I am honored to be John’s friend and to have had the pleasure of working by his side for many years. In July, John’s PET scans did not provide the hopeful positive results. So it is John’s life and the power of his favorite word, “imagination” that I share his story and some advice. As you step onto campus this fall, imagine what you will do, consider your life, your time and your choices carefully. Do not squander the opportunity. Power up your imagination, put it to work to craft a beautiful life, whether it is a short or long one, to live fully, care deeply and like my dear friend John, impact the world with your excellence.

Diane Guse Dahlmann, Director MizzouRec Services & Facilities dahlmannd@missouri.edu Post Script: John Haller, 50, succumbed to thyroid cancer on July 17, 2013.

THE WORLD-CLASS 50 METER POOL IS AN ACCESSIBLE FACILITY for just about everything from intense training to fitness swimming to water walking and jogging. We provide kick boards, pull-buoys, and Aqua-jogger belts for your needs. Just bring your suit and goggles and you’ll be set!

We regularly flip the pool between 25 yard and 50 meter configuration, so you will have the opportunity to change up your workout.

THE DIVING WELL

is similar to the 50M Pool in that it is accessible to all, and provides the opportunity for many types of exercise.

The water is kept slightly warmer than the 50M Pool, which is kept cooler for the intense training and competition by the competitive teams who practice in the Mizzou Aquatic Center. This pool is available during Mizzou Swimming & Diving practices, and at other times during the day.

The Diving Well also features a hot tub that is available to members when the Tiger Grotto is closed.

WANT TO BECOME A TIGERX INSTRUCTOR? We look for talented, dedicated and responsible individuals to lead our TigerX classes.

If you are interested in becoming a TigerX instructor, you must first either enroll in one of our instructor training programs through LeisureU or become nationally certified before Team Mizzou Recruitment.

Once you have participated in our instructor training courses or become certified, then it is time to apply for a position with Team Mizzou in our TigerX program. Recruitment for Team Mizzou is held at different times during each semester. Information is posted in the MizzouRec Nation magazine, on our website and Facebook pages.

TigerX recruitment takes place during the second round of recruitment each semester. This coincides with the end of the instructor training courses. Once an applicant makes it to the second round of interviews, an audition is held. Auditions are 30 minutes in length in the modality the applicant is applying for. After an applicant is hired, they are paired with senior instructors who will mentor and assist the new instructor during his or her first semester of teaching.

Because of our training program, we are looking for applicants who can commit to at least three semesters of teaching.

LeisureU

Hone your s kills or become an in structor!

LeisureU courses are divided into two different categories: Instructor Training and Lifeworks. Instructor Training courses are in-depth classes designed to help members become an expert in a certain area. Lifeworks courses are designed for those members looking to develop new skills or improve upon the ones that they already have. We offer LeisureU courses in the fall and spring semesters. The course line-up changes from semester to semester.

Our Instructor Training program includes TigerX group fitness instructor preparatory courses and personal trainer preparatory courses. Each instructor training course is at least 8 weeks in length and requires study outside of class time. Our personal training prep courses provide optional hands-on lab time. At the end of the group fitness instructor training course and personal training course, attendees are prepared to take certification exams from the American Council on Exercise (available in computer-based form on campus). Our other instructor training courses prepare participants to audition as TigerX instructors, as well as become an expert in indoor cycling, Pilates or yoga.

Our Lifeworks courses are shorter sessions designed to teach skills or enhance them. We have offered classes such as ballroom dancing, self-defense, meditative yoga, contemporary dance and 5k/10k training. Most courses are 4-6 weeks in length, with classes lasting for 50 minutes.

Lifeworks courses are a great way to grow in a particular area without a big time commitment. Two sessions of Lifeworks courses are held during each fall and spring semester.

Register for LeisureU courses in zouLIFE (located in Downtown Brewer). Space is limited and registration numbers must be met for the courses to be held. For more information, please email leisureu@mizzourec.com.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE CURRENT TEAM MIZZOU MEMBERS REGARDING THEIR TIME AT MIZZOUREC? No matter your major, you can find a role at MizzouRec that will help you gain valuable skills for your life after graduation. Use this experience to try new jobs within MizzouRec or take on new projects to find out what you want to do with your career after graduation.

Chances are, you can find something that fits your longterm goals and if not, create it! All of my supervisors were very helpful in allowing me to explore side projects that augmented what I was learning in school.

HOW DID YOUR TEAM MIZZOU EXPERIENCE PREPARE YOU FOR LIFE AFTER MIZZOU? TIME MANAGEMENT - holy moly I couldn’t do what I do now without trying to balance 3 different positions at the Rec, plus a sorority, class, and a small social life.

Plus, working with the Pro Staff seriously prepared me to deal with upper level management. But it wasn’t until I moved up into other positions outside of Tiger Swim that I really felt that I was building up communications skills that I use now.

WHAT WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE YOU HAD AS A MEMBER OF TEAM MIZZOU? Working for the Wheelchair Basketball team. I never understood the sport before, and am thrilled to be a part of it now. Plus it gave me the opportunity to manage a group of people, and start a Facebook page basically from scratch.

ON THE COVER:GO GREEN INITIATIVE

WRITTEN BY DAN JACOBS

The eye-catching landscape design around the MU Student Recreation Complex and Stankowski Field isn’t just attractive, it’s part of a wise-use water conservation system. This project, in the plans for six years, was a result of a project run by Tim Koske, Associate Director of Business and Strategy.

Usually, water from rain or snowmelt that does not soak into the ground flows directly into surface waters, such as creeks and streams, or into storm drains which eventually discharge into surface waters.

Storm drains around the complex channel surface runoff and natural groundwater into an eight-foot sump pit beneath the building. That water is now pumped to on-site storage tanks and then used to irrigate the grassy lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers that surround the complex.

“We thought using storm water for irrigation instead of clean, domestic water, was the way to go,” according to Denny Hines, the Certified Master Plumber who keeps things watertight at MizzouRec. Domestic water is still available as a backup during pump maintenance or periods of extreme drought, however that would be a rare occurrence.

A powerful pump runs six to twelve hours a day, moving 45 gallons of water per minute, to a 12,000-gallon tank and three 4,000-gallon tanks. Those tanks feed a state-of-the-art irrigation system.

Tim Koske and Denny Hines worked with campus officials, University Engineering and Timberlake Engineering, who designed the irrigation system, to make this system a reality.

“

By capturing and reusing runoff water, MizzouRec’s new irrigation system helps keep its landscape vibrant and healthy.

“

“We have a two-wire system that’s better than you’ll find at a lot of golf courses,” Denny says. “One wire is actually [network capable). Our system has 49 zones with seven to 11 heads per zone.

I can control the whole thing from my laptop at home or from a 32inch touch screen in the Bat Cave [the complex’s maintenance and repair headquarters].”

The system also includes a wireless remote that allows Denny to turn zones on and off as he walks by on his rounds.

The smart technology creates savings in multiple ways. “We run all the rotary sprinklers 10 minutes per cycle and the drip beds one hour per cycle, three or four cycles a day,” Denny says.

The use of three-inch water mains rather than two-inch mains offers additional benefits. “They allow us to cover four zones at once instead of two, so the pumps don’t run as often and they run shorter cycle times, which results in cost savings,” Denny says.

Denny hopes to expand the conservation system to include backwash water from the pools in the future.

By capturing and reusing runoff water, MizzouRec’s new irrigation system helps keep its landscape vibrant and healthy, much like MizzouRec helps to keep its members.

This project was delivered on time and under budget.
