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!

There's No "I" in Team

We're backk! Last week I worked my first Thursday of the semester. Since I was only working until 10 I was relieved to be out of the Zone before the craziness of free cones started, however when I walked in I learned that my shift wouldn't be quite so easy. Matt informed me that we would be having 3 events that night that I needed to prepare for: Open Mic night, a Barnes and Noble event and free cones. Thankfully I had some good crew members (Melissa, Sam C and Willy the Schloss) to help me out because I was very flustered. I'm really proud of them for stepping up to make sure the space was set up and the appetizers were ready by the time the event started. We had a really good turn out for open mic night and some really talented performers; I think everyone had a good time.
