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!

Christmas Time is here!

....I feel like that song and Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" jump-start my Christmas spirit. However this year along with Christmas spirit I have a bit of worry. We are an ice cream shoppe. How can we sell ice cream during the coldest months of the year when people want warm pie and hot chocolate? That is my dilemma and task as promotions manager. What will make people want to buy a product that contradicts their desires to be warm? Just a little venting question for you readers out there (there are readers here right?).
