It’s that time of year again…. time to head back to school! As the summer winds down and fall picks up, road travel increases, particularly with the commute of students, school buses, commercial vehicles, and employees heading back to work. Safe Communities of Wood County reaffirms the safety messages presented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Transportation that encourage safety on the roadways and sidewalks during the back to school season.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 23 million students take the bus to and from school each day; with an average of 24 school-age children dying in school transportation-related crashes each year.
To protect those who utilize school transportation, follow these safety tips:

Are you looking for a good resume builder but also could use some extra cash in your pocket? If so, working for the Department of Recreation and Wellness may be the right choice for you.
According to the BGSU Career Center, there are more than 4,300 students that work on-campus. The Department of Recreation and Wellness offers opportunities to students that are looking for a job on campus. RecWell employs between 200 and 300 of these students to work at the Student Recreation Center (SRC), the Ice Arena (IA), Perry Field House (PFH), and Forrest Creason Golf Course.
Working for RecWell can be beneficial for students because there is a chance to grow and advance within the department. Employees are rewarded with Rec Bucks when they go above-and-beyond their call of duty and there is a Student of the Month award given out monthly to the department’s hardest workers.
Student employment jobs are put into a category that signifies their rank within the department. Jobs can range from Level 1 to Level 4. Level 1 positions are the entry level jobs, and the highest positions with the most responsibility are put into Level 4.
If you’re just starting a job with RecWell, Level 1 is where most employees will begin. Some of the jobs included are: PFH Attendant, SRC Floor Attendant, and IA Skate Shop Attendant, among others.
Andrew Clair, an employee at the SRC, has made the most of his time working with RecWell.
“It’s been a great place to work,” explained Clair. “I’ve met a lot of cool people and I really enjoy what I do. I started the job this summer and I’ve already learned so much in my short time here [with RecWell].”
Those who perform exceptionally well on the job can receive a promotion to Level 2, which includes managerial positions throughout all departments within RecWell. Level 3 positions include managers of the SRC and PFH among others. Supervisor positions, the highest position a student employee can hold, are categorized in Level 4.
Each level holds more responsibility than the next and at the same time offers more of a reward. Not only will holding a higher position within the department teach you more about working in a fast-paced environment, you will also earn more money for your work.
“This [job] will look great on my resume,” said Clair. “It doesn’t hurt to add as much experience you can in any department on campus and I think working at the Recreation Center will only help me in the future when I start my career. For students who have no work experience, I recommend trying to find a job with RecWell.”
If a practicum, internship, or graduate assistantship is what you need, RecWell offers excellent opportunities as well.
