In addition to the University’s 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. 2

NATION

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 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.

EXCELLENCE 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.

STATE of the NATION PROLOGUE If life is a journey up the road, then this past year has been a eventful ride. Over the past year, the MizzouRec family bid final farewells to loved ones and colleagues who enjoyed a shorter journey than expected. Sometimes the road rises up to meet you, and other times you meet the road. Nevertheless, the road never leaves you empty. The journey gives you joy, adventure and knowledge; and sometimes reminds you of your truth.

AN ASPHALT ADVENTURE The last big road trip of the calendar year provided members of the team with an excellent experience. We were traveling to the annual Athletic Business Conference being held in San Diego. It started last April when I had the good fortune to enjoy dinner in Colorado Springs, CO with colleagues from the National Swimming Pool Foundation. Peter Brown, President of ABMedia/Athletic Business Magazine sat across from me and chatted enthusiastically about the upcoming Athletic Business Conference. Peter asked if I would be there. I’d been invited by conference director Sue Searls to make a presentation at the conference, so indeed I would be. As we talked about the conference, I indicated that our team would be road tripping out to the event. “Wow!” exclaimed Peter, “That’s great. We should follow you on our website. You should blog!” And that is exactly what we did. The travel team organized an interesting

NATION

list of stops along our route that spanned a wide range of interests. Our first stop was in Joplin, MO, the Barrow Gang hideout, then the Blue Whale in Catoosa, OK featuring a short visit with the son of man who built the roadside attraction. For lunch we had the full POPS! experience before heading out to architecturally significant Lucille’s in Hydro, OK, then on to Shamrock, TX with its iconic Conoco Station, Cadillac Ranch and the lovely Blue Swallow Motel. We also saw the Petrified Forest and Painted Dessert National Park, red rocks and saguaro, the long wall separating the USA and Mexico, and mountains right up until we could see the Pacific Ocean. All of that in two days!

green room with our travel banner and Magic Johnson. And that happened, but not before we personally experienced the magic of Magic. When the assembly hall doors opened, our colleagues ran to the front of the room to secure the best seats. The excitement was palpable. Right on time, Magic Johnson took the microphone in hand and addressed the 4,000 conferees.

JUDGING BY THE TIME OF THE CRASH, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN EITHER INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT OR STUCK BEHIND IT OVERNIGHT. WHAT A SOBERING THOUGHT.

The conference itself was a triumph. We had 166 followers on the blog, posted prominently on the ABC website and mizzourec.com. Our presentation was a hit, with twice the usual number attending the session. All of the sessions we attended afforded each of us strong take-away. Ken Dychtwald spoke to the opening assembly on the Age Wave, which was inspiring. And then there was Magic. Mr. Earvin “Magic” Johnson was the last keynote speaker for the conference. The last photo for blog was to be taken in the

Rather than remain on stage, the sports star and mogul walked up and down the aisles smiling, talking and introducing himself to people in the crowd. He spoke about the role of public recreation in his life, of the leisure and recreation professionals who steered him towards a positive path. He talked about those experiences and how they shaped him into the person he became and who he is today. And while he spoke, he would stop and introduce himself to someone while continuing to tell his story. In a final demonstration of knowing peoples’ reaction to him, Magic would pause, put his arm around the individual and say, “Let’s take a picture.” He did this a least a dozen times, reaching out and making the experience not only magical, but also memorable for everyone in the hall. I can say this with authority, as I was singled out for a moment of Magic, too. At the end of the conference, we headed back to Columbia and directly into the first

major winter storm of the season. The snow started south of Flagstaff, AZ. By 6 PM, we had crossed into New Mexico and gassed up in Gallup. The snow had cleared up and the road was dry. We took off from the truck stop ready to go all the way to Tucumcari where we had reservations. I can’t explain what or why, but a mere six miles down the road it was dark. It looked dark, but more importantly, it felt dark. Without a word or conscious thought, I eased the vehicle off the interstate and we rolled to bottom of the ramp. Directly in front of us, bathed in vintage neon, was Hotel El Rancho, home of the movie stars, circa 1937. “Let’s quit while we are ahead. What do you think?” It was agreed that we would stop for the night. I can’t explain the sudden move to exit, it just felt right. A wave of warmth greeted us as we walked into the lobby, where a roaring wood fire was snapping and popping in a large, beautiful raised-hearth fireplace. We checked in and made our way to the small dining room for dinner. Everyone in Gallup seemed to be there to enjoy the Saturday night prime rib special. After a good meal, we retired for the night. The next morning 5” of snow blanketed Gallup, NM, covering a thick layer of sleet and ice. It was still coming down and the road report was dismal. The entire I-40 corridor was considered hazardous, too treacherous for travel. We cleaned off the vehicle in hopes of a delayed departure, had breakfast and hunkered down next to the fire to wait out the weather. A short time later, I struck up a conversation with a fellow on his way to

Kansas City. He told me the story of how he and his party were flagged down by New Mexico State Troopers last evening. It had been about 7 PM, an hour after we pulled off of I-40. “The interstate was closed down last night?” I asked him. “Yes, a semi spun out, overturned and traffic backed up about 50 miles with no detours. People were stuck out on the road all night.” We later heard it was a fatal accident with dozens of cars involved, and many were sent to the hospital with injuries. Judging by the time of the crash, we would have been either involved in the accident or stuck behind it overnight. What a sobering thought. After another serious look at the weather and road reports, we booked a second night at Hotel El Rancho. Better safe than sorry. The interstate was closed in four places along our route. After dodging a bullet the night before, there was no way we wanted to take a chance and drive into harm’s way. Throughout the day, we caught up on work and email. After discovering where the wood was stacked, we appointed ourselves keepers of the fire. For 14 hours, we maintained the welcoming flames, piling the dry wood high on the hot embers. We met a proud Stephens College alumna and her sister from England. They came this way making their annual search for kachina dolls. A young family on their way to Tennessee waited out the storm with us, and another group was headed for Arkansas.

The folks going to Kansas City decided to try it by early afternoon, but we doubt they made past Albuquerque. While working on our laptops, we happily provided road and weather updates; movie reviews and dinner recommendations (the Ricardo Montalban was an excellent choice). We were all fellow travelers waiting out the storm. The sky still looked forbidding the next day, but we took off for home at first light on a hunch that road-luck would be with us. It was. The pavement was dry and clear all the way back to Columbia. We arrived shortly after midnight, happy to be home.

EPILOGUE I must admit that I was feeling a bit work-weary before the trip. However, our adventures on the way to the conference and the outstanding professional experiences afforded to us were a strong tonic. The journey reminded us about the power of grace and gratitude. It is sometimes those unscripted events in life, even those that create inconvenience and stress that provide us with the most valuable and beautiful lessons. The road rose up to meet us and we are grateful for all we learned on the way.

ADMISSION/ACCESS

Participants must present a valid campus issued MU ID card (Students, Faculty or Staff/Affiliates) or MizzouRec issued ID card for admittance into the MU Student Recreation Complex. No other forms of photo ID will be accepted for entrance into the Complex at any time. This guideline is for the safety and security of our members. Lost MizzouRec issued IDs must be reported and replaced for a fee of $10. Individuals attempting to enter the Complex using false identification will have the ID confiscated and will not be allowed access. IDs will be turned over to the Membership Coordinator. Both the individual using the false identification and owner of the ID will be suspended for a minimum of two weeks or as determined by MizzouRec.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I FORGOT MY ID. CAN I GIVE YOU MY STUDENT NUMBER? We must see a MizzouRec-issued photo ID or Mizzou student ID for every person who comes through the door. We do this to keep you and your identity safe. Double check you have it before you leave and put it right back in the same spot every time so you never have to miss a workout.

CAN I STUDENT CHARGE AT THE REC? You sure can. You can student charge membership fees, classes and even spa services. Just make sure to check your monthly bill and know who is responsible for paying it.

I’M GETTING A WORKOUT IN AFTER CLASS. WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY STUFF? Store your stuff in a quarter locker or in a locker in the general locker rooms. Make sure to bring a lock. Don’t break a sweat looking for your stuff; lock it and leave valuables at home!

I LOST SOMETHING. WHERE SHOULD I GO? We bring all our lost and found to Brewer Station. It’s the desk right across from the locker rooms. If you find something, bring it to Brewer or to the nearest Team Mizzou member.

DO I NEED TO MAKE A RESERVATION FOR MAT PILATES? You only need to make reservations for any of our cycling or reformer Pilates classes. Those classes use machines, so space is limited. Stop by or give zouLIFE a call to make your reservation the day before or the day of. And if you like Pilates, give reformer a try!

I WANT TO HOST AN EVENT AT THE REC. WHERE DO I START? Check out mizzourec.com/events for everything you need to know about how to use our space. Email events@mizzourec.com or call (573) 884-5600 to get in touch about your event.

CAN I BRING A GUEST? Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: We love that people want to share their MizzouRec experiences with people close to them, and we want to help make that happen. However, we have the safety and security of our members in mind, and we can only accommodate guests at certain times of the week. We require guests using the facility to be 18 years old, and to provide a photo ID. All other details can be found at mizzourec.com/guests. We also host Mizzou Family Nights several times per semester, which is an opportunity to bring your family (including children) to visit the Rec (see page 6).

KEEP AN EYE OUT!

BIG CHANGES COMING THIS SPRING!

THE JUNGLE GYM 16

MizzouRec members are in store for quite a treat this spring semester. Awaiting their return from winter break will be a new-and-improved Jungle Gym. The renovation project was inspired by member feedback and will add over 537 square feet to the Jungle Gym.

Corrugated metal, glass blocks, and directional signage will furnish the space to create a more industrial, modernized look. Members can look forward to seeing the fitness industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest and greatest equipment and exercise machines. This new fitness equipment will include, but not be

limited to, state-of-theart ellipticals and bikes. New user-friendly convenience lockers will take the place of the wooden bench area in the cardio theater. These lockers are free of charge and will help eliminate the large amount of unsecured personal belongings in the area.

BREWER BUTTE SCROGGS PEAK 18

Whether you’re aspiring to conquer Mt. Everest or you just want to spice up your workout routine, Scroggs Peak and Brewer Butte are great places to start. Starting this spring semester, members will have the opportunity to get more acquainted with MizzouRec’s three-story rock wall through a series of new

climbing classes that will meet the needs of a variety of skill levels and preferences. In addition to these classes, novice and experienced climbers alike can look forward to a new climbing challenge program, which will provide a fun, goal-based way to get involved at Brewer Butte and Scroggs Peak.

Your first climb is on the house, but if you plan on coming back you’ll want to get a climbing pass, which is available for purchase in zouLife, and is $39 per calendar year. Attending and passing the free Climbing 101 class is required in order to purchase a climbing pass.

OUR FACILITY IS DEDICATED TO STUDENT SATISFACTION AND IF WE HAVE THE MEANS TO INCREASE THAT SATISFACTION, WE ARE GOING TO PURSUE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. CLAYTON HILL

MizzouRec Facility Coordinator

Climbing, in addition to providing physical benefits, is a uniquely social experience, as climbers frequently work together in groups and pairs. The sport has also been shown to improve the climber’s sense of self-confidence, independence, and mental discipline. “I love the challenge of it and overcoming those challenges,” Jamie says. “You can be stuck on a problem for a week and then when you get past it it’s a very rewarding feeling.”

GET INVOLVED This spring semester, there will be more ways than ever to get involved in this special niche community within MizzouRec. MizzouRec will be conducting an assessment of the climbing facilities by reaching out to students and members via an online survey.

mizzourec.com/climbsurvey

Climbing Lingo

“Through this assessment we hope to obtain a greater understanding of our members’ motives, wants and needs in regards to our climbing spaces at MizzouRec,” Facility Coordinator Clayton Hill says. “The information collected through the assessment will help us move closer to our members’ desires, customize programs in this area, and provide an overall higher quality experience at Scroggs Peak and Brewer Butte.

MANTLING refers to the technique to climb over obstacles like ledges that have no hold above. You get your hands high enough to push down with your palms and/or heels on the ledge while you walk your feet up to gain height.

CHICKENHEAD a bulbous knob of rock. CRIMPER A very small hold that accepts only the finger tips. CRUX is a section of the climb that is harder than the rest. EDGING refers to the foot technique where you place the edge of the shoe on tiny holds, usually when the hold is sharp. Generally done on the inside of the shoe.

UNDERCLING when you grab a hold with you palm facing up. Usually used when there is a small roof or flake and no other handholds. You would typically grab the hold underhanded and walk you feet up high enough to reach higher holds. It works on opposing pressure between your hands and feet.

to student satisfaction and if we have the means to increase that satisfaction, we are going to pursue those opportunities.” Also starting this spring, members will have access to a fun new series of instructional climbing classes that will meet the needs and goals for climbers of all levels. For beginner and novice climbers, Climbing 101 is an opportunity to become familiarized with the facility and the fundamentals of indoor climbing. More experienced climbers will benefit from Lead Climbing classes, which will focus on more advanced techniques. Coached Climbing includes individual and small group lessons that will be available to those who prefer a more customized experience. Scroggs Peak will also be embracing the spirit of competition this semester with the King of Yosemite Challenge. Contestants can have each of their successful climbs of Scroggs Peak recorded throughout the semester in order to compete for the title. The Climbing Club is great option offered through MizzouRec Club Sports for those looking to get a flavor for outdoor as well as indoor climbing. The group takes two club-sponsored trips during the year, one during Thanksgiving break and another during winter break. This year the club went to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky over Thanksgiving break, and went climbing at Red Rocks near Las Vegas over winter break. The club frequently uses MizzouRec’s climbing facility in addition to climbing at local sites, such as Capen Park and Providence Landing. For more information about how to get involved in the Climbing Club, contact Joe Leritz at clubsports@mizzourec.com. “Many people who like outdoor climbing will use the Rec climbing wall as a place to train and get stronger,” Joe says, “so that when they do go outside they’re able to climb a bunch of things because they’ll have a higher skill grade. But also I’ve noticed that a lot of people like to use the Rec climbing wall because they just enjoy climbing in general, not just climbing indoors or outdoors, but they just like the sport in general and they like to hang out with people.” With lots of exciting new programming going on at Scroggs Peak and Brewer Butte, members might have a tough time deciding what to try first. One thing is for certain, though—MizzouRec’s climbing facility is the place to be this semester. “The entire community here and everyone’s common interest in climbing makes my job really fun,” Jamie says. “I would encourage anyone to come out and try climbing. It’s going to be a challenge, and the more you do it, the more fun it gets.”

It was the last game, and everyone was watching. The other games had been played outside in the grass, but this one, this was special, so they got to play inside on the turf. This was the championship. Even the tournament staff gathered around the turf to watch. They were only up by six points, and although they were starting to click, they had only played a few games together. Then Joey Gorla made one of the best catches Ryan Patterson has ever seen. The ball went through three defenders, and Gorla made the catch out of nowhere. The catch gave the team the momentum 42

Four women and six men comprised the flag football team that won that day. Most of the players knew each other, and some had played together on other teams, but the regional tournament in Nebraska was their first time playing together as a team. Eight of the ten players have worked or currently work in RecSports and other areas at MizzouRec. Player Tyler McQuinn says the tournament was a good way to represent MizzouRec and get the Rec’s name out there.

Nebraska-Lincoln. He greeted a few familiar faces at the tournament.

The tournament director, Aaron Dueker, graduated from Mizzou in May 2013, but he didn’t graduate from recreational sports. He played RecSports and was a member of Team Mizzou, employed as a RecSports official at MizzouRec during his time as a student. He is now a graduate assistant for intramurals at the University of

In Fall 2013, there were 12 regional tournaments at universities all over the country including Notre Dame, UCLA and Ohio State. Nine teams were at the Nebraska tournament. Around 150 teams, or 1800 athletes, competed overall in the regional championship. Around 580 athletes compete at the National Championship.

$21.00

Dueker played flag football, volleyball and basketball during his time at Mizzou and was the team captain for a lot of the players on the winning team. His name was always somehow part of the team name when he played. One example is the team name that started the trend “Teach me how to Dueker.” The team continued this tradition this year to honor their former captain.

For the Mizzou Men’s Ultimate Frisbee Club, the Mutants, “it isn’t just about playing the game; it’s about the spirit of the game,” says Club Officer Eric Zvanut. The spirit of the game, according to USA Ultimate, the governing body for organized Ultimate Frisbee, is all about

sportsmanship. There are no referees in this sport, it is up to the players to make fair and honest calls while on the field of play, all in the spirit of the game. An excerpt from the official rules of Ultimate Frisbee says, “Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of

mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play.” When discussing the spirit of the game, the most important aspect is the idea to have fun. For this club, it’s all about a balance of knowing when to have fun and when to be

wasn’t focused on whether or not she was going to win. She was focused on taking in the whole experience. She was thinking about all the things she’d gotten to do the past month and how cool it all was. When they called her name, she remembers only hearing the “Tuh” part of Theresa because the cheers were so loud. She had to be convinced it wasn’t a joke. She had really won Homecoming Queen. She still can’t believe it. “Homecoming is the greatest night I ever had,” she says. The greatest day she ever had at Mizzou was when she was tapped into Omicron Delta Kappa. It’s her proudest accomplishment. For her, to be part of such a unique tradition is something she’ll never forget.

She started swiping cards as a Frontline employee and eventually moved up to Membership Specialist. “I wanted a job at the Rec because it’s well-known across campus as a great place to work,” she says.

t was 40-degree November weather at 4,000 ft elevation during a hike along the Appalachian Trail, and for Sam O’Keefe, the conditions were just right for his proposal. “I proposed to Shelby at the top of a mountain,” Sam says. “We hadn’t been there before, and afterwards we had a little picnic up there. So we had lots to talk about on our way back down.” Both Sam and Shelby are former Team Mizzou members. Shelby was an Assistant Graphic Designer as an undergrad, and Sam joined Team Mizzou as a staff photographer after graduation. The couple got engaged in November 2012 and recently tied the knot this October in St. Louis. “My favorite memories from the wedding,” Shelby says, “are definitely having all of our friends and family together in one location.”

where Sam is a photographer for a daily newspaper in Lynchburg, The News and Advance, and Shelby is a freelance graphic designer for a local business publication in Charlottesville, The Scout Guide. Both Sam and Shelby agree that their experiences at MizzouRec better prepared them for their current careers. Shelby most enjoyed designing the Rec’s indoor signage, working on Wheelchair basketball promotions, and contributing to NATION magazine. Sam says he will always remember having the opportunity to photograph the Missouri Grand Prix, which was a seven-meet USA Swimming series hosted by the Mizzou Aquatic Center. “Working at the Rec,” Shelby says, “I was able to get in touch with different resources that helped me be more creative, and I got a different outlook on graphic design, rather than only having the outlook of my professors

“I’ll remember most all of the little things that happened during the wedding,” Sam says, “like giving Shelby the wrong hand to put the ring on. It’s all those goofy details that I should forget, but they made for the perfect wedding day.” The two had met through mutual friends while in college at Mizzou, had their first date at Kaldi’s Coffeehouse, and have since been together for a total of six years. When they announced that they had gotten engaged, the most common reactions from their family and friends were “Congratulations” and “Finally.”

“Sam has a great sense of humor,” Shelby says, “and he always manages to make me laugh or smile if I’m in a bad mood, even if he’s the one who put me in the bad mood in the first place .... We both love to go hiking and we love to be active, so there’s a lot of things that we can do together. It’s always made for a lot of easy dates.” The O’Keefes are currently living together in Virginia,

and other students. It helped me gain a different perspective.” “Overall I learned how to be organized and self-manage,” Sam says, “and these are huge skills that I’m still using today .... Working at the Rec was a good slice of what I was getting into doing for the rest of my life.” The O’Keefes hope to work their way up to advancing their careers in larger cities, and both Sam and Shelby say they would like to go back to school to pursue their Master’s degrees at some point. The newlyweds also foresee a getting a dog and having children on their horizon within the next few years. They plan to embark on a honeymoon sometime early next year, either in the form of a Mediterranean Cruise or a tour of European countries such as Greece and Turkey. “We’ve been through a lot,” Sam says, “but I’m just looking forward to us not changing -it’s worked so well for so long. We have a great thing going.”
