As we start February, RecSports is thrilled to highlight one of our incredible student employees who goes above and beyond to ensure our sports program runs smoothly and provides a welcoming environment for all participants. This month, we’re excited to recognize Hannah Blaskiewicz, a manager on duty (MoD) whose hard work, passion, and dedication make her an invaluable part of our team.
Hannah is a senior studying accounting and history. She’s originally from Long Island, NY but on campus is a Resident Assistant in Johnson Family Hall. When she’s not studying or working, she’s usually in the Smith Center or walking around the lakes. In her spare time, she likes to play intramural sports, run, and read. Hannah’s favorite class is her history thesis because the program and class allowed her to research and learn about a topic that she finds interesting.
Hannah has extensive experience working in Sports Programs. She started working with RecSports as an official, became a supervisor, and then was promoted to a Manager on Duty. In her role as MoD, she brings equipment to facilities where programs are running for the night, helps link supervisors to professional staff, and ensures that programming runs smoothly. Her favorite part about being an MoD is working with the professional staff, officials, supervisors, and other MoDs. She enjoys catching up with everyone at the beginning of a shift.
Working at RecSports has been a great experience for Hannah. She has found community with her co-workers who look out for each other and enjoy working together. After reflecting on her memories at RecSports, she looks fondly on her time playing on intramural teams specifically, playing in the championship for co-recreation flag football. Another highlight was the Kahoot engagement announcement during a staff meeting.
Thank you, Hannah, for your outstanding contributions and for embodying the spirit of RecSports. We’re lucky to have you!
