The crowd was thoroughly entertained. I went down and whistled and the dog came right over…no problem! In the three years I’ve worked with Campus Recreation I’ve come to regard my co-workers as not only my friends but my extended family. As such, we work hard and play hard, share our learning experiences and our successes! Thank you for a positive and life enriching experience.
