Stephanie's top 10 for fall '10

Dying to know what’s going on this fall? Here are my top 10 events brought to you by Campus Rec!

10. CPR/AED/First Aid Professional Rescuer Certification Class

October 16

Noon- 9 p.m.

Register at the Campus Rec Administration Office

If you’re looking to build your resume and expand your professional skills, this is the class for you. Plus, on a personal level, there’s no telling when you may need to step up and be someone’s hero.

9. National Collegiate Awareness Week (NCAAW)

October 26 & 28

4 p.m.-6 p.m. in the Rec Center Lobby

I love this week! Last year, they had me put on “drunk goggles” and try to walk a straight line. After I failed miserably (as expected) I stuck around to watch others try. It was absolutely hilarious; especially when people were cocky and then almost fell on their faces. There was also tons of information and free goodies.

8. Flag Football

Co-Rec registration: August 30-September 1

4- 6 p.m. at the IMS Desk in the Rec Center

Men’s and Women’s registration: September 20-22

11 a.m.- 4 p.m. at the IMS Desk in the Rec Center

Duh! Everyone loves this one. It’s huge! Maybe it’s because everyone can participate. They have men’s, women’s and co-rec! It’s also fun just to be a spectator or dedicated fan for your friends. There’s also a flag football skills competition September 23 4-6 p.m. in case you’re looking for a stage to show off that extra game confidence.

7. 6 vs. 6 Dodgeball with SAA

Register October 11-14 at the IMS Desk in the Rec Center

I have yet to witness this one, but this year I’m not missing it- there’s no way it won’t be entertaining.

6. Lumberjack Floats

August 31 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. Lumberjack Village Community Center

September 1 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. Steen Front Door

September 2 1 p.m.- 2 p.m. Kampus Books

Outdoor Pursuits loves to feed people and this is a prime example. In typical OP fashion, they will be OUTSIDE of the Village, Steen and Kampus Books serving FREE ice cream floats. They will also have information available about their upcoming events this fall including my next pick…

5. Thanksgiving Horse Packing in the Hill Country

Register by November 17 in the Outdoor Pursuits Office

I used to horseback ride all the time but ironically since I have lived in Texas (seven years), I haven’t been! You would think moving to the South would result in more horses. Anyway, there’s nothing like it.

4. Summer Loving

September 1

4 p.m. -7 p.m. at the Rec Center Courtyard & Pool

Did you say free food? All I have to do is show up? Yeah I’m there. Hey don’t judge me I’m in college! There will also be music and prizes if that makes a difference.

3. Job Fair

November 6

3 p.m. -6 p.m. in the Rec Center Lobby

Gotta give it up to this one- it’s how I got my job! Come to the Rec wearing business casual clothes and have a preliminary interview with a Campus Rec GA. If you fit the needed job description, you get to the next round for a more professional interview with the director of the program area that interests you the most. Just like that you could have a job with quite possibly your favorite spot on campus.

2. Men’s and Women’s Basketball

Registration: December 6-8

11 a.m.- 4 p.m. at the IMS Desk in the Rec Center

It’s no secret that basketball is my favorite sport. This is actually a spring event, but registration takes place in the fall so don’t forget to get your team together and sign up!

1. Women on Weights

Registration: September 20-21

4 p.m.-6 p.m. in the Rec Center Lobby

This is my top event because most women I know (myself included) want to workout more but are bored with the same routine, have little time, or just simply don’t know what to do. This event will solve all of your problems. It will force you to come to the gym four weeks in a row and help you customize your workout! Amazing right?
