What is this blog?

The RutgersZone is a revolutionary new space located in the Livingston Student Center on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The space includes games like Skee-Ball and Pool, an array of HD Satellite televisions and a full-service ice cream/soda shop.

In addition to creating a unique experience on campus for Rutgers students, the RutgersZone also aims to develop life and leadership skills of the staff members working in the space.

This blog, the RutgersZone Experiment, is a chronicle of this ground-breaking experience being shared by seven undergraduate student managers and one professional staff general manager. These students are being tasked with working as a team to create an unmatched on-campus experience for our guests, learning to become effective managers and constantly "pushing the envelope" for what is expected on a college campus. As a part of their employment experience, each student manager is asked to blog at least once per week about the processes associated with opening this space or developing as a manger.

Welcome to the RutgersZone Experiment!

Expectations, Expectations

So we finally made it through the first week of work as managers. I'm really proud of us all for being able to remain calm and collective under pressure. In addition, the biggest thing I'm proud of is the fact that we've been running the place with Ferg all by ourselves. ALL WEEK. AWESOME!

Tomorrow begins a new week and now things are really going to pick up for us. We've just added on some delicious signature desserts to the menu so hopefully that will bring a lot of people in for a late night snack. Plus, I'm really excited that we're starting to stream events, football games, and finales at the Zone. Que the publicity here....

TRUE BLOOD FINALE STREAMING LIVE TOMORROW AT 9!

Hey, I had to do it.

Due to all of these amazing additions, we have to live up to our overall expectations. The ones we have for ourselves, the ones we've created for one another, and most importantly the ones we have for the vision of the Zone.

This week will be another learning week but as long as we stick to the basics we will be great. Confidence is key!

Stick with us,
Lisa
