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!

Photo Shoot!!!












During my shift on Tuesday, Matthew and I worked with Marketing on a photo shoot with all the delicious food the Zone offers. Perhaps it is my love for ice cream or my embarrassing appreciation (see also, obsession) with fashion photography, either way this was WAY FUN!

Marketing set up white paper (very chic) for the background and floor, powered a Nikon camera, and grabbed a tri-pod, while Kyle was blending milkshakes. I would top each shake with ribbons of whipped cream and lace chocolate syrup over each white layer for decor. Then we would make our specialty desserts, decorating each plate with a mired of red, brown, white, colors which compose our delectable Brownie Sundae and create a bright lime green mint chocolate chip sundae with marshmallow sauce and chocolate sprinkles. It was heavenly for the eyes and palate. Some lucky customers even got free desserts on this day. HELLO?! We weren't going to let it all go to waste! Next time, it could be you!!!
