About this badge

Rec Sports Champions are student employees who have consistently distinguished themselves among their peers for their outstanding effort and commitment over their tenure at OSU Rec Sports. These are staff members who create and promote attitudes, behaviors, and a work environment that contribute to a culture of well-being. They are standout leaders who foster an inclusive environment, strive to excel while also pushing others to continuously improve.

This person consistently goes above and beyond and always has the best interest of the Safety Program and Rec. Sports in mind. They have stuck with our team through a lot of changes and have put in so much work into their role as a Senior Associate. This person doesn't hesitate to ask questions about what they can improve or how to help another team member. Overall they have been a very involved, critical member of Safety Programs and have grown into a leader of our team. Congrats! JAREN IWASA
