Faculty Position at St. Francis

From Syd Sklar: The University of St. Francis has an opening for an Assistant/Associate Professor in Recreation, Sport and Tourism Management (pending administrative approval). We have a growing concentration in therapeutic recreation and welcome candidates with a TR/RT background. St. Francis is located in Joliet, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The RSTM department recently moved into a new facility in downtown Joliet (a $3 million dollar building renovation) built to our specifications. St. Francis offers small class sizes and is a welcoming environment. With the many CTRSs working in the Chicago area, we have access to multiple field experience/internship opportunities. The area offers affordable housing, strong public education systems, rich cultural diversity, world-class parks, thriving special recreation agencies, major league sports, cultural arts, museums, festivals, shopping, restaurants, and two major airports. I will be attending the ATRA conference Saturday through Monday and will be glad to talk with anyone interested in learning more about the position. Sydney L.
