As campus recreation professionals, we utilize recreation and wellness opportunities to provide growth experiences for our students. Rarely do we get formal training on how to maximize these learning opportunities for our student staff. This recording discusses NIRSA’s newly developed Student Supervisor Competency Guide, which provides a self-assessment rubric to assist those who manage students to become better at the most important parts of their job.
This session features practical examples and ideas to incorporate this competency framework into your work.

Matthew Altendorf
Coordinator for Student Staff Training & Development
The Ohio State University
Higher education professional with experience and interest in creating a challenging, inclusive, and developmental environment through my work in facility operations, student supervision, event planning, organization advising, and leadership development. I currently serve as the Coordinator of Student Staff Training & Development with Ohio State Rec Sports. I am also pursuing my Ed.D. in Higher Education.
When I’m not working to create the extraordinary student experience, I'm running, reading large nerdy books, enjoying the outdoors, finding new board game obsessions, and avidly supporting my favorite soccer and football teams. I one day aspire to have my office look like NPR's Tiny Desk.
