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!

[Insert clever title]

Wow this semester is OVER already!?!? Times flies when you're stressed, lol. So I had 3 jobs this semester; RutgersZone, Quad 3 Prez and Student. All 3 required a lot of attenetion and time. It was hard in the beginning but I'm glad I did it. It was a challenge nessecary for my growth as a person. It taught me about time management and responsibilty. As managers, we were all presented tasks from Matt that made us step outside of our comfort zones. These tasks were meant to challenege us, but he knew we could handle it and 'rock it' as he says. haha. He was great with that, and he helped each of us along the way. I feel blessed because I was given this oppurtunity. This is an experience that not everyone will get and I love being a part of it. So to every crew member, all the managers and Matt thanks for making me better through this experience.
