Abstract
Student employees play a vital role in the leadership and delivery of campus recreation programs. Therefore, campus recreation professionals have a unique opportunity to contribute to their development. The purpose of this study was to identify best practices for effective student development in campus recreation programs affiliated with the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA). Data were collected using the Delphi technique via a web-based survey. A panel of experts including five of the 2009 Regional Vice Presidents of the NIRSA organization, as well as five campus recreation professionals from each region chosen by the Regional Vice Presidents was asked to participate. Panel members advocated five general best practices and 21 specific best practices. The five general best practices were leadership opportunities, performance assessment, training and orientation, personal relationships, and professional development. The results provide a framework that campus recreation professionals can use to enhance student development of their employees.
