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!

Afterpartyyy

Last Thursday was the Rutgers on the Runway event in the Livingston Student Center. At the event, students modeled Rutgers apparel and guests gave a $5 donation to Dance Marathon. After the event, we hosted the Afterparty, which was out of control. It occurred during our usual free cones night so in addition to free cones we were also giving out free soda and appetizers. Thankfully we had a great crew (and some motivational music courtesy of fratmusic.com) or we would have been in trouble. Kyle was scooping ice cream all night, Schloss and Alisa were doing spectacular with the appetizers, and Jaime was on sodas. Everyone did a great job working together to get the food and drinks prepared, distributed and get the place clean. Outside the Zone, we had a float station set up, which was popular as well. They were floatastic! Overall I think we had a really successful event. There were a TON of people here and we definitely made some good money. I think that more people will want to have parties after their events :D
