By: Dasha Hayes 

Director of marketing Connor Rentz and group fitness employee Jackie Lepre set up one of three tables for Boro Browse. They were among the first two people to arrive and begin setup for the event.

Southern Adventures coordinator David Kunkle and undergraduate assistant Helena Nebeu set up a personal table they brought with them. They decided to position it diagonally from the main Campus Recreation table to create more space for their posters.

Campus Recreation and Intramurals bring a box containing more than 100 calendars. The calendars listed every event scheduled at CRI throughout the year.

Group fitness employees help place flyers into the calendars to distribute to students. The flyers included information about the RAC, group fitness, intramurals and the new e-gym.
