Submit (as email attachment) a summary

Site Facilities

Gym – The Gym was the biggest I have ever seen, John stated that it held 4 types of all equipment. This Gym was free to anyone with GA Tech access cards, such as Students, Alumni and Staff.

Basketball Gym – GA Tech Rec Centre had 6 Basketball Courts above the swimming and aquatic level. These could be rented for use by any student.

Running Track – Around the Basketball courts was an elevated running track that was 6laps to a mile. This was often is use.

Diving Well and Pool – The swimming level was packed with teams practice for swimming races and diving events.

Leisure Pool – 78Degrees pool which had a lazy river and water slide for GA Tech Students to enjoy.

Career Possibilities

Reinhardt has never had an intern placement at GA Tech Rec Centre and John stated that they accept interns at GA Tech and there is a quick 2 week turn around period where he would be happy to sign someone for the position

What did you learn from the visit?

What was interesting for me was the comparison to a middle of Atlanta big school, compared to Waleska’s Reinhardt.  I also learnt the need for student employment at the Rec Centre as they rely solely on students to work receptions and life guard duties e.t.c
