Supporting student wellness and academic success is a key goal for the division of Student Affairs. The division’s departments of Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) and UC Davis Stores work diligently throughout the year to provide programs and services that support that goal.
Toward that end, UC Davis Stores, under the supervision of Director Jason Lorgan, has joined CRU in an organizational partnership that streamlines and centralizes services. Both UC Davis Stores and CRU are now overseen by Executive Director John Campbell. Under Jason and John’s leadership, the two departments continue to improve student experiences and foster student success on our campus.
The newly united organization reaches the entire student body, through programs and services now enhanced by increased efficiencies. Examples of these efficiencies include combined Information Technology and Communications and Marketing
units that support both departments.
In the 2014–2015 academic year, the organization shared groundbreaking achievements. UC Davis Stores’ new Inclusive Access program lowered textbook costs for students and received national attention. CRU’s Memorial Union Renewal began, and promises to create a student center that better serves the student community and brings the Gold Star Aggies memorial to the forefront.
I welcome you to explore the annual report to discover how CRU and UC Davis Stores are working together to promote academic achievement, foster new opportunities and support student wellness in the UC Davis community.

EXCELLENCE IN STAFF LEADERSHIPLaura Hall
The National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) presented their 2015 Regional Award of Merit to Campus Recreation and Unions Director of Recreation Laura Hall, for her achievements in the field of collegiate recreation. As a member of NIRSA for 18 years, Hall coordinated NIRSA conferences, hosted NIRSA workshops, and contributed to recreation and wellness in innovative ways. Recent major achievements include the WorkAbility and Ags United programs at UC Davis: partnerships with Team Davis that encourage professional and social relationships between young adults with special needs and UC Davis students. Hall reflected, “We truly can be a critical piece of a students’ successful experience on campus. This notion provides me with a daily purpose and sense that what we do is truly important and can sincerely be the difference between a student struggling or succeeding at UC Davis.”

FINANCIAL REPORT
Campus Recreation and Unions programs are largely supported by various student fees, which were voted on and approved by the students themselves in order to support the unions and activities they utilize.
CRU is also supported by departmental income from programs and services. In addition, UC Davis Stores’ net income helps support the Memorial Union (MU), one of CRU’s facilities. In turn, CRU supports
facilities, programs and services that serve students and the campus community, as well as funds UC Davis Stores’ expenses, such as assessments, Office of the President taxes and Shared Service Center taxes.

The Memorial Union Renewal is now well underway. The project includes renovation of the east wing and north side of the building and a major facelift for the Games Area and UC Davis Store. Construction kicked off in March with demolition work that prepared the first and second floors to house a more modern study and gathering space for students.
Demolition is now almost complete on the facility as a whole, and seismic retrofitting is underway. The Campus Store, as it will now be called, is on track to reopen in winter quarter 2016: the fixtures have been selected
and installation is set to begin in December.
All of these improvements are aimed at better serving the needs of the student population, as well as bringing the original purpose of the Memorial Union to the forefront: the renovations will ultimately include a new focus on the Golden Memory Book, and the Transfer Reentry Veterans Center will move to a central location on the second floor of the facility. The Renewal is projected to be completed by fall 2016, and we are excited about the new opportunities it will provide to the campus community.
MEMORIAL UNION RENEWAL MOVES AHEAD
In early 2016, Amazon will be opening Amazon@UCDavis, a staffed pickup location at UC Davis located in the Campus Store, offering a convenient, affordable and secure spot for students to get everything they need for life on campus.

Upgrades to the new Campus Store (formerly the UC Davis Store in the Memorial Union) include improved access and free-standing fixtures that can be adjusted to meet business needs. The new look will transform our store into a compelling retail experience unique to UC Davis.
RENDERING BY COLLEGE STORE DESIGN
This past April, Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) held the first Student Supervisor Summit, two days of interactive workshops and keynotes designed to develop leadership and supervisory skills. This opportunity was created in partnership with the Center for Leadership Learning and the Internship and Career Center, and was led by CRU professional staff. The summit focused on leadership and supervision, diversity and inclusivity, and personal development, and taught students how to develop these skills in a way that they could apply to future careers. One student reflected, “I was hoping to gain some insight into what I would possibly want to do in the future, as well as how I could go about succeeding [and] feeling satisfied…This opportunity was immensely helpful in that department and more.”
The summit included a variety of workshops, with topics ranging from interview skills to finding your passion in life. All of them covered valuable aspects of success in future careers, including time management, professional etiquette and teamwork.
In addition to professional skills, the summit gave students tools they could utilize outside of job settings. The workshop “Your Leadership Energy: Knowing the Tone You Put Forth and How to Adjust It” made students aware of their own leadership style and taught them how to use that to improve their interactions with others. In another workshop, “Manager, Leader: Is There a Difference?” students learned how diversity plays an important part in leadership roles. An attendee of the workshop shared a key learning outcome: “Diversity can improve the degree to which new ideas are created.”
Overall, student reaction to the summit was positive: most participants strongly agreed that attending improved leadership skills, positively contributed to their personal development and understanding of diversity, and improved their understanding of leadership. One participant reflected, “It was a fantastic and invaluable experience. It is one of the highlights of my college experience.” Future summits have already been planned for fall 2015 and spring 2016.
TAKING THE LEAD
Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) held a ceremony last fall to recognize the Gill family’s generous contribution to student development. Muriel B. Gill and husband Robert Gill donated $50,000 to the Equestrian Center and California Aggie Marching Band to help support student participation. The donation allowed the two units to develop fee waiver programs for student participants. CRU’s ceremony honored the Gills for their generosity, and we renamed the Equestrian Center main barn in dedication of Muriel, herself a UC Davis alumna.
The Equestrian Center uses its share of the donation to give 30 students each year the chance to take a group riding lesson for half the price. This allows students who could not otherwise afford it to participate in a highly beneficial and enjoyable activity, as Equestrian Center Coordinator Meg Drescher explained: “Horseback riding allows for emotional and physical wellness.” Lotus Fung, a first-year law student who participated in the program, said, “I am very thankful
for the fee wavier program; it gave me a chance to try something I have always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity.”
Cal Aggie Marching Band has also developed its own fee waiver program from the donation: each year, 30 members will receive the fee waiver, which covers the cost of the band’s Fall Retreat. Andres Calvillo, a fourth year band member, applied for the fee waiver after his father had an accident at work, causing financial strain on his family. “It alleviated my [financial] burden,” Calvillo said. Another band member, third-year student Riki Kar, struggles with the financial strain of being an out-of-state student. “It’s nice to not have to worry about spending money on something I love to do,” she remarked.
The Gills’ donation has already made meaningful impacts on UC Davis students, and will continue to provide enrichment opportunities into the future. CRU is grateful to the Gill family for supporting so many students through their generosity.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES STUDENT
DEVELOPMENT
Andrew Musca was recognized as the 2015 Northern California Student Employee of the Year, after being named the UC Davis Student Employee of the Year, for his remarkable achievements at UC Davis Stores. Musca oversaw the Stores’ textbook rental program, communicating with vendors to ensure the best pricing on textbooks and saving UC Davis students nearly $2 million. Musca’s supervisor Kato Meley said, “I don’t think any other student on our campus could make the claim they made more of a financial impact.” Musca was also the first student manager at UC Davis Stores, and he helped market Smart Start, the textbook shopping assistance program that helps first year students navigate required course materials. Musca, who graduated this past June, has a promising future ahead of him, and we wish him the best.
EXCELLENCE IN STUDENT LEADERSHIPAndrew Musca
Fitness and Wellness and the Special Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP) have joined forces to support student development. Fitness and Wellness is a unit of Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) that provides fitness classes at the ARC. STEP is a program that helps freshmen who are first-generation college students or from low-income and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds develop skills for success. Through a new partnership forged this past fall, Fitness and Wellness now offers STEP students the opportunity
to earn ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certification free of charge. ACE Certification is an accreditation that allows those who receive it to become fitness professionals, making them eligible for Group Exercise and Personal Training positions with Fitness and Wellness. Two students were chosen to participate in the program this year, including Selena Martinez, who explained, “I wanted to expand what I can do.”
The program covers the cost of Fitness and Wellness’ nine-week ACE Fitness Leadership Course (which helps prepare participants for the ACE
Certification exam) and the exam itself, a total of around $500. Martinez has now completed the course and is in the process of studying for the exam, which she is scheduled to take this fall. If she receives certification, she plans to apply to become a fitness instructor with Fitness and Wellness. Brian Luu, assistant director of Fitness and Wellness, remarked, “Through this partnership, we are able to provide professional development opportunities that can unlock students’ potential.” This successful community partnership will continue in the coming school year.
STEPPING UP COLLABORATION
Youth Programs expanded their participant base this year to serve even more of the Davis community: throughout the month of June, the summer camps served nearly 450 participants per day, up from 350 per day in the previous year.

40 YEARS OF ADVENTUREOn June 5, Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) invited the campus community to celebrate the completion of Outdoor Adventures’ new home and recognize the program’s founders. After 40 years at the Silo, Outdoor Adventures moved to its new home in the former Rec Pool Lodge last fall, adding interior improvements and a new equipment storage unit. While Outdoor Adventures’ home has changed, its original mission has remained: “To provide avenues for the development of environmental awareness, self-awareness and adventure in the campus community.”
That mission was included in the Outdoor Adventures proposal in 1972, when the program was founded. Rosanne Mandel, then Assistant Director of Student Activities, conceived the idea and oversaw the initiation of Outdoor Adventures, while Nena-Joy Almodovar, a student at the time, co-wrote the proposal and helped set up the program. In 1983, Outdoor Adventures got its first full-time director, Dennis Johnson. He expanded the program into one
of the largest and most diverse university outdoor programs in the nation, creating student guide training schools and establishing academic partnerships.
These three founders made Outdoor Adventures what it is today, and the program continues its mission by providing valuable learning opportunities to students and the greater community. These opportunities go beyond outdoors skills. Bradley Gawsawski, coordinator of Outdoor Adventures, explained, “Students have the opportunity to work together, and in many cases, to problem solve.” Fourth-year student Elena Piotter, an Outdoor Adventures rental center employee and trip guide, has learned additional lessons as well: “[Being a guide] teaches you to make others see you as a leader and follow your instructions,” she said, adding, “[Outdoor Adventures] builds a sense of community.” The program will continue to expand such contributions to the campus, with plans to add a rock climbing wall and slackline course at the new facility.

Ishmael Pluton is an excellent example of what Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) expects of its student leaders. The recent graduate and former CRU employee won the William N. Wasson Student Leadership and Academic Award this spring. It was awarded by the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) for his work in CRU’s Aquatics and Youth Programs units and his service as chair of the UC Davis Recreation Advisory Council. The award is given to students who have shown leadership, have experience with professional organizations, or have promoted diversity and inclusion in their work. “Winning the award is an absolute honor,” Pluton said. “I am incredibly thankful of all the opportunities that CRU provided.” With the award and a degree in hand, Pluton is ready to pursue a teaching credential at Cal State Long Beach this fall.

The four Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) advisory councils and the UC Davis Stores Advisory Council play an important role in assuring student, faculty and staff input on UC Davis facilities, services and programs. All of the councils are comprised of students, and most also include faculty and staff members. They all help make important decisions and provide feedback and advice related to their areas.
VOICES MAKING CHOICES
Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) and UC Davis Stores have over 70 on- and off-campus partners, and we would like to extend our gratitude to them all. Without their partnership, UC Davis Stores and CRU would not have been able to serve the campus community to the high degree that we have over the past year. We hope to continue building our partnerships for the benefit of the entire UC Davis community.

In its first year, UC Davis Stores’ Inclusive Access program saved students over $1 million. Since the fall 2014 pilot, the program has grown from 3,000 to 15,000 participants per quarter.
SPOTLIGHT: INCLUSIVE ACCESS
In fall 2014, UC Davis became one of the first academic institutions in the country to offer students instantly accessible, interactive and adaptive digital course content at significantly reduced costs. This was achieved through UC Davis Stores’ Inclusive Access program, a new textbook model in collaboration with top publishers that converts books into digital content. All students in a class buy into the content, lowering the cost for everyone. Kelly Holt, outreach coordinator for digital course materials, explained that the program “levels the academic and financial playing field” because it ensures that everyone has access to the same high-level materials on the first day of class, with convenient billing to each student’s university account after the ten-day drop period. By the end of fall quarter 2015, more than 30,000 students will have participated in Inclusive Access in 50 large courses. Results have been positive: our initial review showed that students saved over $1 million in the first year.
In addition to the cost savings, the program’s interactive digital content enables students with different
learning styles to have equally valuable educational experiences. One student, a fourth year animal science and management major, said, “I found Inclusive Access helpful to my study skills. It would highlight important topics in the reading through Learn Smart…There were also quizzes at the end of each chapter that were extremely helpful by testing what I had just learned.” Overall, students reported decreased study time, improved learning outcomes and high satisfaction with the digital content. Seventy-eight percent of students were satisfied with the ease of attaining course materials and convenience of billing.
Inclusive Access’ adaptive digital content also gives faculty real-time feedback, so they can tailor their courses to address more difficult topics and directly meet the needs of students. In addition, digital content allows students to receive immediate feedback so they know where they stand in the class. Economics professor David Lang said, “The incorporation of the homework delivery system into SmartSite allows students to see
DIGITAL CONTENT FOR ALLtheir grades instantaneously and removes mystery from the grading process.” He added, “Inclusive Access allows me to hit the ground running in my courses by eliminating some of the administrative issues that revolve around the text.”
Inclusive Access has made UC Davis Stores, and by extension UC Davis, a leader in the textbook market by utilizing technology to improve affordability and access to course materials. According to Jason Lorgan, director of UC Davis Stores, “Our Inclusive Access program is creating a national reputation for UC Davis as a digital content leader in higher education.” As a result of the program’s success, more than 50 other college campuses have requested information about how to start similar programs. We are excited to expand Inclusive Access to additional courses this fall with increasing buy-in across campus from both the physical and social sciences.

ONE SWIPE AT A TIMEIn the coming year, Campus Recreation and Unions (CRU) will be implementing a major initiative, AggieCard Swipe, led by the Center for Student Affairs Assessment, to improve academic achievement. The program will determine which resources help students graduate within four years by correlating students’ participation in each resource with their time to graduation. Participation will be tracked with card swipe systems at each facility and other places of activity; for CRU, students will swipe in each time they
play an Intramural (IM) Sports game or visit the Craft Center, for example.
CRU will be one of the first departments to install AggieCard Swipe machines at our facilities this fall. John Campbell, executive director of CRU, affirmed, “We are committed to assessing students’ experiences and adapting to meet their diverse needs. We have embraced the AggieCard Swipe system across our programs and services as a valuable Student Affairs initiative to measure student outcomes.”
CRU is committed to developing well-rounded student leaders so that when students graduate, they are ready to succeed in the real world. Therefore, we want to ensure that CRU resources are well utilized and that they positively impact the graduation rate. If successful, this program will help students graduate sooner, save money and promote the resources that are most critical to student success. We look forward to providing impactful data for evaluating and improving university resources.
