Recreation Leadership NEWSLETTER What Is Recreation Leadership? Contributor: Jasmine Goodnow, PhD, Assistant Professor of Recreation Leadership
A New Semester Brings New Beginnings I hope you enjoy the first of many Recreation Leadership Newsletters. I started this project to fulfill a practicum credit under Dan Caston and Jasmine Goodnow. I thought that this would be very helpful in keeping alumni up to date on what is taking place in the recreation major, minors, and clubs at Ferrum. Thank you to everyone that helped me to complete this issue! If you are interested in helping or have ideas for the next issue please e-mail be at mbtaylor@ferrum.edu. Cheers!

The Recreation Leadership major prepares Ferrum College students for a variety of recreation settings including local, state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, recreation services, natural and historic interpretation agencies, as well as commercial enterprises. The major is also offered as a minor for current students who have already declared another major(s).
