Change Makers of NIRSA: Unshakable Hope Through Empowerment

Changemakers 2204 Promo 01 Wide

By Cara Lucia, NIRSA

“Though it has been said that ‘courage is not the absence of fear,’ our future success in collegiate recreation must focus on the possibilities instead of fears and barriers.  We must have the courage and passion to free our imaginations and create actionable outcomes that better the good of the whole – the whole person, the whole organization, the whole community, and the whole profession.  Being a change maker means to be intentional in shaping our future.  A future that is inclusive and just. It is important that we are unanchored from the complacency of the past.  Instead, using our past learnings and successes as the foundation and guidepost towards building that better tomorrow – continually shaping and changing the landscape around us.  We do this through engaging and empowering others with empathy and unlocking our social entrepreneurial spirits to change and better our community, practice, profession, and ourselves.”  – Bill Crockett, Executive Director, Division of Student Affairs at the University of Maryland, Baltimore
