SPORTSCENTER BACK IN ACTION
1-27-06
After a long winter break, VCU SportsCenter students arrived in Richmond from places such as Nebraska, Massachusetts, Florida, Iowa and even Ghana and Costa Rica to begin the spring semester. It didn’t take them long to get back into the swing of things with new classes and big ideas for their action learning projects. Action learning consists of groups meeting twice a week to plan an event from start to finish.
One such event is a party zone featuring a beach volleyball tournament, live music and spirits. This event is tentatively scheduled to be held in late June. It is unique because it will potentially be held in an unlikely location. Other events lined up for the semester include a leadership conference and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament.
The leadership conference, set to take place on April 6, is designed to target upper-class undergraduate students who are interested in a sports career. The event will include keynote speakers and leadership sessions covering topics such as networking, women in sports, diversity, interviewing and self-promotion. The conference will be held in the parlors of the Sports Medicine Building located on the Monroe Park Campus at VCU.
Another event students are working on is the Alltel 3-on-3 Pre-Exam Basketball Jam. College students with a valid ID can compete to win prizes. The Jam is to be held on April 23 at the Alltel Pavilion at the Stuart C. Siegel Center.
Stay tuned as the semester unfolds to watch SportsCenter students as they work hard to meet high expectations and fulfill their goals.
