Residential Co-Rec Coordinator

Job Description :

Budget Title : Staff Assistant (SL-2)

Salary : $50,000 - $55,000

Co-curricular recreation is booming at Binghamton University. Between increased enrollment and the University's demonstrated commitment to facility enhancements, the Residential Co-Recreation Coordinator has a unique opportunity to positively impact the residential experience for Bearcats for years to come. This role, and their team of student leaders, will shape current and new campus traditions while maximizing resources to implement a wide variety of programming, recreational and student engagement initiatives.

Building on the growing culture of residence hall specific 'co-recreational' (intramural) sport leagues, this position will focus on diversifying current recreation offerings, increasing student participation in leagues and events, while offering lower impact one day recreational special events and activities. Currently the most popular co-rec sports include flag football and an indoor field-day event. This is a unique opportunity to establish a long-lasting legacy on the cocurricular students of Binghamton University.

This position will report through Residence Life while collaborating regularly with Campus Recreation professional staff to ensure appropriate and best programming practices are being followed including holding league commissioner meetings, officials training, and working with Physical Facilities to ensure facilities remain in appropriate playing conditions.

Residential Life at Binghamton University has a collegiate model structure meaning each of the residential areas are grouped into smaller "colleges." This model allows students to have a small school experience at a large university. The Residential Co-Rec Coordinator role will capitalize on these college identities and affiliations from students to engage in deeper traditions through competition within a college and between the colleges.

This role will regularly engage with a variety of student leaders across the residential colleges. This engagement will include hosting the Co-Rec council of student leaders, an advising board, as well as soliciting student engagement through attending evening activities and area student government meetings after hours. Additionally, much of the co-rec activities and programming will be outside of traditional work hours and will require an enthusiastic and hands on approach to attending these events.

The ideal candidate will have a firm hold on traditional recreation sports, while thinking outside the box in collaboration with our student community to build a calendar of events attractive to today's population. The incumbent will have a passion for and experience in student development with a demonstrated understanding of student development theories. This position requires a flexible individual who understands the demands of the position will include attending area government meetings which occur during evenings and nights, and an ability to commit to being on-campus to facilitate and supervise weekend activities when necessary.
