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!

Internal Award

CENTERS, powered by our commitment to “better is better,” is deliberately and quickly progressing on its Quest for X .  We remain inspired so we can inspire others. 

To recognize our employees who stretch beyond their assigned responsibilities, CENTERS acknowledges and rewards employees for extraordinary contributions and accomplishments that advance the company towards X.

We celebrate extraordinary contributors to engrain ambition, responsibility, and humility into our collective DNA, raise concepts like “X” and “better is better” above rhetoric, and actively embed them in our culture.  It is an award for results that have a lasting and dynamic impact on our people, company, and clients and sets a new baseline for how we define excellence. It is an award for people that take risks and become role models due to their performance and commitment to advancing the state of the industry and setting standards that embody who we are, what we do, and why.
