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!

Pool Stick for a baseball bat? are we in college or grammar school?

Hello!

I am in a MUCH better mood these days now that our crew is working. Speaking of which, I just showed four of our crew members (Dom, Sam, Alyssa, & Sherina) our blog, and asked them what I should write about this week.

Dominique suggested I touch on the incident that happened during one of her shifts; one of our truly valued customers thought it be a good idea to play our Major League Baseball Pitch game with a pool stick as a bat. Several things are wrong with this scenario :
1.) This game is intended for pitching NOT batting
2.) This is not stick ball and
3.) As the good ol' Christmas favorite says: "You can poke an eye out!"


Nonetheless, my intent in retelling this story is that there is never a mundane day at the Zone and some of NJ's brightest can behave in a less-than-brilliant manner. I am proud to say Dom solved the issue at hand, but next time as managers and employees we really need to ANTICIPATE before the problem even unfolds.


=)

See you at Bed Races!
Becky
