Abstract
The number of women working in campus recreation organizations in the United States of America (USA) has steadily increased due to dynamic changes in recreation departments within colleges and universities across the USA since 1990. This paper is descriptive in nature and its purpose is to examine how women, currently working as campus recreation administrators, are positioned in the industry. Data were collected utilizing an online survey, based on a modified version of the Female Sport Manager Career Survey. Findings offer a descriptive “snap shot” of women in campus recreation such as age, level of education, sector of employment, employment patterns, and use of networking and mentoring to advance their careers. Additionally, results provide some valuable information on work history, continuing education and career advancement, affiliation with professional associations, as well as issues related to networking and mentoring. This paper sets the stage for further inquiries with practical and theoretical implications.
