• Recreation and Wellness Services is committed to the development of our employees. We want you to continue to learn and grow while you are a member of our team (and beyond). One of these ways is through professional development opportunities.
• To promote continued learning, we have developed a RecWell+ Student Professional Development fund program. RecWell student employees are eligible to receive professional development funding (7/1 – 6/30) towards continued education. Each area will have an allotment of funding for student employees to take advantage of (while funds last).

The program is a mentorship program designed for Recreation and Wellness Services employees throughout the academic year. This program aims to build and support relationships with their coworkers and practice being a mentor and mentee in a casual setting outside of work on Kent State University’s campus.
