ANNUAL REPORT

UNO Campus Recreation
Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
UNO Campus Recreation continues to serve the UNO community by providing exciting programs, activities and special
events for all to enjoy. Programming and building usage numbers continue to grow every day as people take advantage of
the newly renovated Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) Building.
The 2011-2012 academic year was the first full year of operation for the HPER
Building after construction was completed and the building was dedicated in
October of 2010. Individuals from all over of campus took advantage of the
over 200,000 square feet of state of the art recreation and fitness space with the
hosting of two large Welcome Week events. The first Business Fair was held in
the building where over 50 businesses from the Omaha and surrounding area
provided promotional items and employment information to well over 1,000
students. A Midnight Mojo, HPER After Dark event was held the Friday of Welcome
Week, 2011 with over 600 students taking advantage of the fitness classes, food,
and activities offered from 9 pm – 1 am. Other large scale special events housed
in the HPER Building included the Annual Health Fair, Youth Program Halloween
Party, Winter Midnight Mojo, HPER After Dark, and the College of Education
Commencement reception. Participation in the first 6 months of 2011 compared
to the first 6 months of 2010 showed an increase of over 35,000. The phrase
“build it and they will come” certainly held true for the HPER Building.
The staff of Campus Recreation embraced new leadership and customer service
principles titled; “MAVREC.” Each letter of the word MAVREC represents a
principle. Motivate, Accommodate, Vision, Respect, Excel and Communicate.
These principles were established in the summer and unveiled at the Recing Crew
student staff fall training. Over the course of the fall semester, the student staff
and professional staff promoted each of the principles and reported on various
examples of the principles that were witnessed taking place in the building.
Keeping the MAVREC leadership principles in mind has helped create a greater
customer service mentality.
This year saw the departure of Ashley Bails, Assistant Director for Memberships,
Marketing and External Relations and Tycee Strawmier, Assistant Director for
Injury Prevention and Care. Both staff members contributed greatly to the
successful opening of the new and improved HPER Building.
In planning for future growth, meetings have been held with representatives of
Campus Recreation and the UNO Alumni Association and the NU Foundation. The
goal is to have those two organizations help tell the Campus Recreation story
in the hopes of growing our connection to Alumni and the Omaha community.
With a greater connection the feeling is there will also be greater support for
Campus Recreation and UNO. Utilizing the momentum of the addition and
renovation project, the various building projects taking place on campus and the
20,000 students by 2020 initiative the future definitely looks bright for Campus
Recreation and UNO.

Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Aquatics: 2011-2012 started on another high note for the Aquatics program by increasing our rentals to outside parties.
Outside parties have consisted of Midwest Diving as well as Marian Swimming and the Greater Omaha Aquatics Swim Club.
The American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program has been excelling over the past year in which our numbers have increased
by offering five separate sessions during each semester, two Monday/Wednesday night sessions, two Tuesday/Thursday
sessions and one Saturday session.
Facilities: Both Dodge and Center Facilities saw an increase is usage by not only the UNO community but also by the Omaha
community groups.
Fitness and Wellness: The Group Exercise Classes increased by 68%. (Free Classes were up by 75% and the Yoga/Pilates
Fee-Based Classes were up 42%).UNO faculty and staff participated in the UN-Wide Health Risk Appraisal (Wellness Stream)
for the third straight year. The Mav-Rec Wellness Program established a Wellness Champion Committee (W.C.C.) to assist
with wellness events and to enhance communication of the program to UNO departments and colleges. Currently, there are
16 members serving on this committee.
Intramural Sports: Intramural sports taking place on Sunday and Wednesday nights are by far the most popular days for
Intramural Sports. Intramural Sports saw an increase in the number of teams participating. New marketing avenues,
magnets and other promotional materials, which were mostly paid for by two sponsors, were successfully used to attract
more participants. Men’s and Co-ed sports still remain the most popular with the participants while Women’s Sport are hit
or miss with popularity. Total participation in Intramural Sports for the year 2011-2012 was 3459 compared to 2471 for
2010-2011 year. Increases in men’s basketball, dodge ball, and indoor soccer made up majority of the increase.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Injury Prevention and Care and Risk Management:
The Injury Prevention and Care program entered into the second year of being
housed in the new space (HPER 108A). User numbers increased and this past
semester, a new high of patrons served (638) in one month was achieved during
February 2012. Average monthly totals for the 2011-2012 academic year crept
to 500 patrons per month. IPC staff continued to have a solid relationship with
Student Health and received numerous referrals from the Health Services staff
and the orthopedic physician on staff. Additionally, IPC also refers patients to
Student Health when professional staff feels that the patron needs additional
care beyond appropriate IPC services. Having an Orthopedic in clinic located
within the HPER building has been a great asset to IPC.
Risk Management responsibilities include monthly maintenance of the seven
AEDs located within the HPER building and continual overview and tweaking
of current emergency action plans (EAPs). Staff continues to look at emergency
action plans to meet the needs of our building and update as needed to
meet the needs of the students and their safety while utilizing the programs
and facilities of Campus Recreation. During the summer months, the Risk
Management Committee (made up of Assistant Directors, Graduate Assistants
and Student Workers within Campus Recreation) will be conducting a risk
management audit of all the departments housed within Campus Rec. This
audit will include identifying the high risk areas in each department and within
each high risk area focusing on the key risk areas (supervision and instruction,
training, facilities and equipment, documentation and emergency response
planning), asking the appropriate audit questions within each respective area
and developing action plans to address the needs found as a result of the audit.
Memberships and Marketing:
A working relationship with staff from the Alumni Association and the NU
Foundation was established in the fall semester. The ultimate goal of the
relationship is to reach out to Alumni and Businesses in the community to tell
the story of Campus Recreation while gaining greater support for the program
and UNO. The program director left the university in March.

UNO Campus Recreation
Outdoor Venture Center:
Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
The Outdoor Venture Center experienced a moderate decline in its programs area but is doing very well in the Rental Center
and Climbing Wall areas. The recovering economy is starting to show a small turnaround in trips but they continue to suffer.
Workshops and classes are the strong arm of programming. This suggests that people are still interested in Outdoor Pursuits
but find it more economical to train with the OVC and run their own adventures. The OVC trained three new kayak leaders
and three rock climbing leaders this year.
The 2011-2012 Fiscal year was good for the Outdoor Venture Center. Off campus programs where hit with severe weather
during the first two quarters of FY 2011-12 that caused three cancellations of full programs. The OVC also had fewer
programs scheduled this year than last year. The expense of travel and amount of free time required to travel somewhere
exciting seem to be the largest hindrances to running UNO trips. The OVC is in the process of completing the training on
several new volunteer leaders which should energize the workshops program.
The Rental Center was not affected by Missouri River flooding at the beginning of this fiscal year as few of our users venture
out on the Missouri. Boat rentals remained strong throughout September and picked up progressively as spring weather got
warmer. Interest waned for renting camping gear into the cooler seasonal weather as compared to last fiscal year. Rentals
started tapering off near the end of September this year as it had for many years before. This is a little odd considering the
long warm streak through October and November the area experienced this fall. Camping equipment rental was sluggish in
the spring but has increased going into the summer. The last two fiscal years were much better for winter rentals than this
year was as well. Most of these dips in rental trends were more than made up for by strong boat rental.
The climbing wall had a strong year as well. Users and revenues were steady in all areas. The climbing wall replaced
some volunteer route setters that moved on this year. There were a broad pool of applicants and a competitive process was
utilized to pick the best two setters. The climbing wall enjoys a following of regular users due to the diversity of routes and
fun environment. The OVC is still not able to balance out women numbers which are still 2:1 in the men’s favor. This is an
industry wide problem however. More “roped climbing” is taking place this year which has increased rental revenue.

Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Sport Clubs:
A few team highlights: Ultimate Frisbee qualified for their regional tournament.
Trap & Skeet took 2nd place for international trap at the ACUI National Shoot.
Members of the Equestrian and Trap & Skeet volunteered at the Mav Kids
Halloween Party.
Youth Programs:
The strongest school year events were the annual Halloween Party and the Youth
Rock Climbing Evening. The Halloween Party saw an increase in attendance.
Donations of costumes from HalloweenCostumes.com were awarded to
winners of a drawing held at the event. Two of the sports clubs (Equestrian and
Ultimate Frisbee), at least 5 students from international studies, and a number
of Campus Recreation students volunteered for the event. The February Youth
Rock Climbing event was successful again with seven attending allowing
perfect ratio for climbers and wall staff. The other school year programs did
not attract the necessary participants and ultimately were canceled. A review
of the school year events is taking place and a recommendation on a course of
action is forthcoming.

Aquatics:
Accomplishments
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Goal 1: UNO places students at the center of its enterprise.
• Over 20 students are employed as Lifeguards, Masters Coaches, and
Water Safety Instructors. Many of the student employees have found
great experience working in aquatics and then excel in outdoor pool
management.
• The Aquatic professional staff uses one Head Guard to assist in
planning the monthly in-services. Two Co-Captain lifeguards that
have shown exceptional leadership also aid in planning trainings
and act as shift leaders. These three student leadership positions
enable our staff to have some peers serve as mentors.
• The Masters Swim Program is free to all UNO Students and we have
13 different time periods every week for maximum exposure of our
Masters Members.
Facilities:
• A major accomplishment has been the emphasis on customer service.
Facilities and Intramural Sports have implemented the Hire Hard
and Manage easy concept that was a major focus of a UNO sponsored
managerial seminar. This concept appears to be working with better
student employees being hired.
• Created a control desk training module.
• There has also been a marked increase in request for space in the
building. More student organizations and clubs are requesting
not only the gym or activity space but also classrooms, conference
rooms and open space for meetings and events such as Maverick
Mojo, Business Fair, Spirit Night, UNO Women’s Walk, and birthday
and graduation parties. Also the increased gym space allows more
time for Sport Clubs and Student Organizations to have access in the
evenings.

UNO Campus Recreation
Accomplishments
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • GOALS & OBJECTIVES • STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Fitness and Wellness:
• Hired one new student as a group exercise
instructor.
• Collaborated with Midnight Mojo to offer chair
massages at Mojo events.
• Offered reduced pricing specials for students to
take advantage of our Massage program.
Intramural Sports:
• Offered a full schedule of activities at attractive
hours and days.
• Utilized the marketing department, web site, and
face book to post scores, send information, and
keep students informed.
Injury Prevention and Care:
• Beginning this academic year, IPC has employed
non-athletic training students as student workers.
This is a change from the previous years in
which solely athletic training students served as
the student workers in IPC. While not striving
academically with the purpose of becoming a
certified athletic trainer, a majority of our students
are studying to one day hold jobs within the
health care field (physical therapist, strength
and conditioning coach, personal trainer etc.). By
working in IPC, the students are provided with
the ability to work with certified athletic trainers
to gain exposure to the field of athletic training,
enhance their practical care skills, as well as work
in the capacity of a first responder if an emergency
situation should arise in the building. This allows
them to develop their critical thinking skills as
well as triage and first aid skills.
• IPC staff also provided opportunities for a UNO
student to become certified in CPR/AED/First Aid
by the American Red Cross or challenge an expired
certification at a discounted rate. IPC holds CPR/
AED/FA classes periodically through the year to
provide not only employees of campus rec, but the
entire student population But most importantly we
provide acute care, injury evaluation, rehabilitation
of injuries, and preventive advice and guidance for
all students enrolled in classes here at UNO and
those with membership to our facility.
• IPC staff has worked closely with student health
to develop a referral system in which we refer our
students back and forth to give them the best care
possible and see that they get the care they need
in a timely manner.

Outdoor Venture Center:
• The Outdoor Venture Center strives to provide a broad spectrum of
outdoor pursuits and programs for the UNO students.

transportation price and time of travel associated with most trips.
• Utilizes students in a variety of volunteer and paid positions
throughout the program and encourages them to take active
involvement in shaping the direction of the program.

Party (Equestrian and Ultimate Frisbee).
• The Sport Clubs participated in a clothing fund raiser to raise money for each club and use those items as visible
promotion for them.
Youth Programs:
• Just completed the hiring process of 26 students for the 2012 Mav Kids Summer Day Camp. Three of those students
were campers of the Mav Kids Summer Day Camp (2 worked at last year’s camp and one is new to the staff this
year).
• Utilized a web-based training module made available by UNO Human Resources to enhance our training for
protecting children.
• We continue to provide volunteer opportunities for students needing to fulfill hours for various scholarship and/or
