FEATURED AWARD RECIPIENT

We proudly announce that @jsu_urec has received the 2023 NIRSA Creative Excellence Award. The NIRSA Creative Excellence Award recognizes NIRSA members’ great endeavors and accomplishments in marketing and is conferred in nine categories. In addition, our team at JSU won the Student Digital Presentation Award for a Web Series created to promote Adventure Rec Trips named Dalton’s Trippin. They sent Dalton Hamby out on trips strapped with go pros and a video cam so potential trip-goers could get a first-person view of what it is like “trippin'” with us! JSU will accept this well-deserved award this month at NIRSA’s National Conference in Pittsburgh.
