Alumni Spotlight—Katie Bradbury

Sept. 13, 2021 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

Alumni of the College of Applied Health Sciences have myriad career options thanks to the tremendous diversity of programs. We periodically will put the spotlight on an alum to find out what they’re doing now, what experiences they had and what AHS means to them. This week, we talk to Katie Bradbury, who got her master’s degree in Recreation, Sport and Tourism in 2013 and who is now an afterschool adventure/camp supervisor in the city of Mesquite, Texas.

Q: Why did you pick AHS?

A: There has not been a chapter of my life that did not include recreation, be it county recreation programs I took part in as a kid, or working at overnight summer camps for the better part of my teens and early 20s. My life has been pretty much dedicated to the field of recreation, and what better program to gain further knowledge in recreation than the RST program. Although there are plenty of universities that offered Recreation, Sports, and Tourism, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign was the only one (that) multiple professors from my undergrad days had mentioned to further my educational career.

Q: What course did you most enjoy?

A: I would say financing and budgeting as well as Human Resources in RST were both classes I enjoyed because I learned so much more than I did in my undergrad outdoor recreation budgeting classes. The course I enjoyed, because it was just a fun course, was marketing. It really allows a level of creativity to be used for each assignment.

Q: Did you enter AHS knowing your career path, or did AHS help you decide?

A: My career path was set a long time ago. I was working at a summer camp in Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada, when my director told me he has a degree in recreation. I had never heard of such a thing. Come to find out (Eastern Washington University) had outdoor recreation as a degree, I graduated a few years later. During that time I had learned so much about the business side of the field, we became certified in everything we could; however, seasonal work was difficult and getting your foot in the door of government agencies or not-for-profits at an administrative level was extremely difficult without having more education or more experience. As recreation professionals know, this field changes every 7-10 years. Continuing education is a necessity. Going back to school and becoming a part of the AHS RST program has really helped in employment and immediate job advancement.

Q:Did your AHS experience lead to your current job?

A: I owe a lot to my experience at AHS and I do believe it has led me to my current career choice. During college, I worked at the State Farm Center and Memorial Stadium and I would not have known about those positions without the College of Applied Health Sciences. It allowed me to network and let me know of positions that were available in event management. It ultimately lead me to finalize my decision on exactly what I wanted to be in addition to the qualities that I wanted and did not want to have as a leader in my field.

Q: What was your favorite on-campus experience?

A: My favorite on-campus experience was graduation, and meeting the professors I had only talked to online.

Q: What would you say to recommend AHS to a prospective student?

A: For me, AHS has allowed me the opportunity to work within the communities to help keep people active, children engaged, seniors mobile and social, and provide a service that are vital to the population we serve.

NBA All-Star Weekend was a slam dunk for RST students

Feb. 20, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

Responsibilities included preparing the NBA’s command center for visiting dignitaries

RST junior Brendan Ross was part of a three-student crew working the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago in February

Chatting with Bill Murray was a highlight. Seeing NBA owners such as Mark Cuban up close was dazzling. Finding themselves in a room with more than $1 million in NBA merchandise was overwhelming.

But for three students in the Department of Recreation, Sport and Tourism, their five-day experience at the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago was about one thing.

“Helping people,” said Matt Maguire, a sophomore in the RST program.

Maguire, junior Brendan Ross, and sophomore Harry Figiel were hired to help NBA events coordinator Lauren Mroz—herself an Illinois College of Media grad—with the corporate services portion of the All-Star Game, arguably the sport’s most-important event of the season.

Responsibilities included preparing the NBA’s command center for visiting dignitaries such as league owners and celebrities, putting together gift baskets for stakeholders and delivering credentials and tickets across Chicago, Mroz said.

“All-Star Weekend is way more than just a game, obviously,” Mroz said. “They were very good at doing whatever needed to be done.”

Mroz was happy to have RST students in the employee candidate pool because though she was a College of Media student, she often took RST classes and even took one of professor Mike Raycraft’s RST 180 courses in which students visit some of the most iconic sport and tourism sites in the country.

Mroz explained that the students were hired by Zorm Event & Transportation Services, which works with the NBA on several events and whose owner is RST alum Kevin Mroz, Lauren’s brother. Zorm, contracted by the NBA, has hired Illini students such as Ross to work on other NBA events such as the Draft Combine.

While the All-Star Game experience involved “pretty typical office work” as Maguire described it, none of it seemed mundane or menial to the students.

“We were walking to the elevator and saw (Dallas Mavericks owner) Mark Cuban walk out and we’re just like, ‘this guy’s worth billions of dollars,’” Maguire said. “I talked with Bill Murray for like 15 seconds. That’s a huge highlight for me, I love Bill Murray. He’s one of my favorite actors. So it was really nice to just meet these people you would never meet in a normal circumstance and get to talk with them, even if it was only for a few seconds.”

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri, director Spike Lee, and Bears coach Matt Nagy were among the luminaries with whom students got to interact.

“The chance to talk to Spike Lee … we got to banter with him a little bit and just talk with him, and it was a great experience,” Ross said. “And it was just so cool just to be around there and be in a more professional setting but still get to see those very wealthy and famous people.”

All three students plan to pursue careers in the sports industry and they took lessons away from their NBA experience.

“I was like, whoa, there’s a lot more that goes on here than you would really think of,” Maguire said. “Normally everyone thinks ‘Oh, the glamor in sports, you get to work for playoff teams, stuff like that.’ But when we’re there, it’s 1 a.m., and we’re just doing stuff. It makes you realize that it’s not all glamor and there’s hard work that’s going to go into it, too.”

For Ross, it cemented his career plans.

“Ever since getting the opportunity to do the NBA Draft Combine last summer, I have put it in my head that I would like to work for the NBA,” he said. “So an opportunity like this was not just cool, but educational. And I learned so much.”

Figiel, who works for the Kankakee Daily Journal as an Illini sports beat writer and photojournalist, agreed.

“It was an intense experience,” he said. “I got to see the operation and even though we played a small role in it, just being a part of the experience from a work side as opposed to a fan side, you get a lot more information, and I will have a much better appreciation for those things in the future.”

Mroz said that was the lesson she hopes the students took out of the experience.

“You need to be willing to do whatever it takes to get your foot in the door,” she said. “To make those connections and build those relationships. They’re seeing what it takes to be doing what they could be doing, or they could see what they don’t want to be doing.”

Other highlights for the students included helping former NBA star Grant Hill find his room, seeing some of the participants of the NBA Rising Stars Game—including former Illini hoops star Kendrick Nunn—and seeing Aaron Gordon, who many believed should have won the All-Star Slam Dunk contest, check in. But for the RST students, they got just as much joy out of that as seeing people enjoy all the festivities.

“One of the coolest parts of the last week was that they gave each of us two tickets to each event,” Ross said. “These tickets are selling for insane amounts of money, but I get to call my buddy and say ‘Hey, grab somebody and get to Chicago and you’re going to go to the game.’

“And that was just so rewarding and awesome, and it felt good to give them that experience, but it felt good to watch them have such an awesome experience. That’s why sports are so awesome, and that’s why I want to be around sports.”

Mattie gets grant to study children with fragile X syndrome

Feb. 20, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

Fragile X syndrome is an inherited genetic condition that causes a range of developmental delays, including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment

Speech and Hearing Science Department assistant professor Laura Mattie is launching a study in August in hopes of developing ways to help children with fragile X syndrome communicate better.

Mattie received a grant of $454,977 over three years from The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health, aimed at identifying the contribution of child and maternal gestures and responsive maternal language input to word learning opportunities, production practice, and spoken vocabulary growth for toddlers with fragile X syndrome (FXS).

Fragile X syndrome is an inherited genetic condition that causes a range of developmental delays, including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. Affected individuals usually have delayed development of speech and language by the age of two.

Data collection will start on Aug. 1, Mattie said, and take place across the country.

“Fragile X syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder, so that means we will go to where the families live to collect the data,” she said. “It is easier for us to travel because the child participants are all toddlers.”

While existing research in FXS has revealed impairments in child gesture use, Mattie says in her abstract describing the study, no studies to date have examined the link between gesture use and the onset of first words prospectively.

“Our long-term goal is to develop and evaluate early language interventions for these children,” she said.

The term maternal language input is more than just a mom saying a word, and a child repeating it, Mattie said. “High-quality input involves what mothers are saying and how they use non-linguistic cues like gesture to connect their words to the objects children are playing with,” she said. “The timing of spoken words with the gesture cues also play a role in language learning.”

The study will involve toddlers with FXS and their biological mothers completing three assessments over a one-year period starting when the child is between 18 and 24 months. The mother and toddler will be observed to measure child gesture use, child vocabulary, and maternal gesture use and language input.

The ultimate goal, Mattie said, is helping children with FXS communicate. “It will improve their interactions with others in the community and helps with independence,” she said.

The next step for Mattie is conducting cross-syndrome comparisons between children with FXS and children with Down syndrome. A recent pilot grant from the Center on Health, Aging & Disability (CHAD) has allowed Mattie to examine similar skills in children with Down syndrome.

“Together these studies will support my long-term goal of designing early language interventions that build on the strengths of each population,” she said. “Early interventions have long-term and lasting effects on the outcomes of those who receive them.”

Alumni Spotlight—Christian Perez

Feb. 29, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

Alumni of the College of Applied Health Sciences have myriad career options thanks to the tremendous diversity of programs. We periodically will put the spotlight on an alum to find out what they’re doing now, what experiences they had and what AHS means to them. This week, we talk to Christian Perez, a 2015 Recreation, Sport and Tourism graduate who is now Senior Operations Coordinator, Fan Experience for the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.

Q: Why did you pick AHS?

A: From a young age, I always had a fascination and passion for sports. My dream as a kid was to be a professional soccer player, but recognized early on that perhaps I didn’t have the full skillset to do it, but I knew I wanted to be involved in the game off the field. When it came time to apply for colleges, AHS made the most sense for the career path I wanted to take.

Q: Why did you pick RST?

A: I knew I wanted to be involved on the business side of sports, and the Sport Management program provided within RST caught my attention from the start. The atmosphere and family feel of RST and AHS made it a very comfortable environment to be in. You basically knew almost every one of your classmates since you were in 95 percent of the same classes every semester.

Q: Which professors had the most impact on you?

A: My academic advisor at the time, LoriKay Paden, played a big role in me wanting to stay in RST. As a freshman I had my doubts about the academic path I was on, but talking to LoriKay reassured me that I was making the right decision staying in RST. Dr. Michael Raycraft was someone that kept class interesting, even when he maybe knew that the material from that particular day in class wasn’t the most glamorous. He wasn’t afraid to put students on the spot in class when answering questions, which I am thankful for now. It’s always good to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Dr. Ryan Gower always had time to meet and chat with you, no matter what he was doing. I remember on days before class, my friends Tim, Tom and I would stop by his office and he was always down to chat or to tell us one his undergrad stories or how his kids were doing. That’s a personality trait that I hope I can replicate.

Q: What course did you most enjoy?

A: Not sure if it is still around, but RST 300 was my first introduction to real world experience. Events and Planning made us engage with outside businesses to put on an event from the bottom up and most of the skills I learned in that class, I can still apply today.

Q: Did you enter AHS knowing your career path, or did AHS help you decide?

A: I had an idea of the career path I wanted to take as far as being involved in the front office of a sports team. However, at the time I did not know that I wanted to get into game day and stadium operations, which is my current role. I always thought that I wanted to get into marketing, and to be honest it just sounded “cool” at the time, but really didn’t know what it entailed to be involved in marketing with a sports team. I was able to get an internship with a minor league baseball that first exposed me to stadium operations, but was not the biggest fan. When an opportunity for an operations internship came up with the Chicago Fire, I took it and haven’t looked back since.

Q:Did your AHS experience lead to your current job?

A: My AHS experience definitely helped prepare me for life after graduation. Being in RST helped build a foundation for what it means to be a business professional and how to market and network yourself to industry leaders. The skills I obtained from time management, communication and organization throughout my Illinois tenure definitely set me up for success post-undergrad.

Q: What was your favorite on-campus experience?

A: It is hard to narrow down a few experiences, let alone just one. That said, the friends I gained throughout my college experience will always be the best part about Illinois. Taking down No. 1-ranked Indiana basketball in 2012 will always be a good memory, though!

Q: What would you say to recommend AHS to a prospective student?

A: First and foremost, always try to keep an open mind! The close connections you can develop with your professors and staff can serve as a great steppingstone for your career post-undergrad. Being involved in a college like AHS gives you the opportunity to meet all your classmates, build relationships, and seek out your professors whenever you need them. Take advantage of being on a Big Ten campus and start to develop your professional network as early as possible, it never hurts to reach out to someone just ask some questions or to pick their brain.

Tim Nugent honored by Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

Feb. 14, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

It is the Hall of Fame’s highest honor outside of enshrinement

Tim Nugent’s award is the Hall of Fame’s highest honor, outside of enshrinement.

Tim Nugent, considered the “Father of Accessibility,” and the founder of the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services at the University of Illinois, has been posthumously awarded the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

It is the Hall of Fame’s highest honor outside of enshrinement.

Nugent, who died on Nov. 11, 2015, at the age of 92, was a 24-year-old World War II veteran and University of Wisconsin graduate student when, in 1948, he took charge of a new program that has since become the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services at Illinois. Established first to serve the needs of wounded World War II veterans seeking to attend college, DRES, as it became to be known, later opened to other students with disabilities and would become the first comprehensive service program of its kind.

Named in honor of Hall of Famer John W. Bunn, the first chairman of the Basketball Hall of Fame Committee who served from 1949-1964, the award honors coaches, players and contributors whose outstanding accomplishments have impacted the high school, college, professional and/or the international game.

“The Basketball Hall of Fame is pleased to posthumously recognize Timothy Nugent as the recipient of this year’s Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “Mr. Nugent was truly ahead of his time when it came to ideas of accessibility and creating opportunities for those with physical limitations. As the founder and original commissioner of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, we appreciate his contributions to the game we celebrate.”

Nugent will be formally honored during Hall of Fame Enshrinment Weekend in Springfield, Mass., Aug. 28-30.

After concluding his military career, Nugent organized wheelchair sports for wounded veterans who were otherwise limited by lack of opportunity. Wheelchair basketball started up around the country, and most of the teams were organized at Veterans Administration hospitals. Nugent and his team, the Gizz Kids, organized the first wheelchair basketball tournament; from this, the National Wheelchair Basketball Association was formed. The Gizz Kids took their game on the road and went around the country expanding acceptance for wheelchair basketball.

Marty Morse, who was an assistant coach for the Illinois men’s wheelchair basketball team from 1984-92 and coached the wheelchair track and field racing team from 1981 to 2004, called Nugent a “visionary.”

“I was fortunate to be an undergrad when Tim was working at DRES. He expected excellence from me as a student-athlete and as a coach,” Morse said.

Nugent in 1973 was inducted into the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Hall of Fame after serving as the first CEO of that organization and last year was inducted into the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame.

Two-time Paralympic medalist Will Waller, an Illinois graduate, DRES alum and current CEO of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, said Nugent, “created a venue for me to recognize and pursue my potential.

“I’m forever grateful for his vision and stubborn passion to pursue it and expand it in the face of active resistance. The result: he created a movement that would inexorably change the trajectory of lives of people with disabilities. Sport was a catalyst to change the perception of people with disabilities, including self-perception. Nugent’s legacy extends far beyond the field of play. His name is synonymous with the terms accessibility and disability rights, making his societal impact extraordinary to say the least.”

Current Illinois men’s wheelchair basketball coach Matt Buchi said no one was more deserving of the honor than Nugent.

“Dr. Nugent has dramatically impacted my life and so many of my friends and teammates in the wheelchair basketball community through his passion for providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities,” Buchi said. “His never-ending drive to push the status-quo of accessibility and resources for individuals with disabilities, paved the way for us to be able to achieve a college degree and pursue our passions in sports and in life.”

Illinois women’s wheelchair basketball coach Stephanie Wheeler, an NWBA Board of Directors member, said she was excited when she heard the news.

“The most incredible part of Dr. Nugent legacy is that he saw the potential in every person he met,” she said. “At that time, disabled people were seen as less than simply because they were disabled. Dr. Nugent knew that disability didn’t impact their ability to be valued members of society and demanded that those individuals were treated as such. The other part of his legacy that I carry with me everyday is his dogged pursuit of justice. He never let someone telling him no stop him from doing what he knew was right and just. I’m grateful to be a small part of carrying on his legacy at Illinois. I can’t think of anyone who is more deserving of this honor from the NBA.”

In 2014, the first U.S. Paralympic training site for wheelchair racing was established at DRES, and today no university as is dominant as the University of Illinois is in Paralympic track and field.

The credit for that is unmistakable, Morse said.

“That wouldn’t have been possible without Tim,” he said. “When I got here in 1981 as a student, much of the hard work had been done, changing people’s perceptions. He laid such solid ground work.”

ORPR gets contract to study lake need in Springfield

Feb. 11, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

The Office of Recreation and Park Resources (ORPR), a unit within the College of Applied Health Sciences’ Recreation, Sport and Tourism Department, was awarded a $90,000 contract by the Springfield City Council to study whether there is a need for a second lake in the city.

ORPR director K. David McCann said his office will “try to determine whether there’s an unmet aquatic outdoor recreation need for fishing, water skiing, swimming.”

The study was requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which last year said information provided by Springfield’s City Water Light & Power showing recreational demand for a second lake was insufficient.

McCann said ORPR won’t ultimately make a recommendation as to whether the second lake is needed. “We will provide information based on community surveys and analysis of existing outdoor aquatic opportunities to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for them to include in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Study that will be used to determine whether there is a need for this reservoir.”

Lake Springfield

The lake is part of a larger plan, McCann said, involving a backup water source. A recreational use of water was considered an ancillary benefit.  “In order to create a reservoir there will need to be a dam constructed and that requires a permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers.”

The survey development and implementation will be conducted by professors from the University of Illinois – Springfield Institute for Illinois Public Finance, Dr. Kenneth Kriz, and Dr. Travis Bland.

The study is expected to be completed by August. The lake would cost about $125 million to construct, according to the utility’s latest estimates, and would take about one year to design the lake and about two years to construct.

Alumni Spotlight—Charles Burton

April 23, 2020 | Vince Lara-Cinisomo

Alumni of the College of Applied Health Sciences have myriad career options thanks to the tremendous diversity of programs. We periodically will put the spotlight on an alum to find out what they’re doing now, what experiences they had and what AHS means to them. This week, we talk to Charles Burton, an Recreation, Sport and Tourism undergraduate and graduate alum who is now Chief Operating Officer of the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club in Champaign, Ill.

Q: Why did you pick AHS?

A: If you are driven by curiosity, creativity, and the desire to improve the lives of others or you are interested/fascinated by the human body and the sciences it is natural, pursue a degree in Applied Health Science. As an athlete, with a passion for helping others, I chose AHS as a springboard to gain relevant practical experience working closely with other students and professors in fast-moving environments. The college of applied health sciences equips you to implement scientific principles together with practical clinical experience toward improving quality of life for patients in the rapidly growing and ever-changing healthcare and recreational, sport and tourism industries.

Q: Why did you pick RST?

A: As previously stated, as an student-athlete, I had become to appreciate the competition, adversity, theory practice and science that is required to be successful in sports. In looking at the professional climate, Recreation, Sport & Tourism had began to grow on a world-wide scale. The NBA had become a global brand and other sports were using metrics and science to gain competitive edges in competition. Hospitality & Tourism had also began to grow with more families traveling abroad and more individuals looking to become entrepreneurs in specific sciences. The concept of leisure had been studied and were in its early stages of understanding its effects on mental health and a healthy lifestyle. In Parks & Recreation as well as Youth Development, logic models and fundamental program development principles were becoming the standard. RST allowed me to gain experience in all of these arenas and develop analytical and critical thinking skills to adapt to the fast-growing and ever-changing environment. RST provided me with the opportunity to gain necessary hard & soft skills to be able to have success in any career. The transferable skills allowed to me to be flexible in my career choices and use my passion for helping others in a variety of ways professionally.

Q: Which professors had the most impact on you?

A: It’s hard for me to name one. Each professor brought a different perspective and level of expertise, which challenged me to adapt and always look at challenges as opportunities. The professors gave me more than academic information, they gave me perspective and skills that allowed me to be successful today. Here is a quote, “The world will never stop evolving, our responsibility is to accept the discomfort with change but use it to grow/expand our knowledge through the change to create new opportunities!”

Q: What course did you most enjoy?

A: RST 501 Concepts & Applications in Recreation, Sport & Tourism. This course opens your eyes to various opportunities via a conceptual lens.

Q: Did you enter AHS knowing your career path, or did AHS help you decide?

A: I had no idea of what I wanted to do! Outside of being an athlete, I didn’t know what I was good at.

Q:Did your AHS experience lead to your current job?

A: Yes, it did. I have worked in almost every aspect of Recreation, Sport & Tourism. My current position as Director of Operations/COO requires me to work conceptually on changing critical issues, finance/budgeting, problem solving, looking for new opportunities through challenges, program development, community relations, customer services, organizational leadership, mentoring/coaching, etc. The foundation for all of these skills came from AHS.

Q: What was your favorite on-campus experience

A: The Quad! Such a beautiful space and seeing the diversity and being able to speak with and understand various cultures were amazing. Spaces like this help us come together and develop a higher level of cultural competency.

Q: What does AHS mean to you?

A: AHS means 4 P’s (Passion; Purpose: Potential; Pathways). Getting a degree from AHS will assist you with Finding your Passion, Defining your Purpose, Discovering your Potential, and Developing Pathways to a Greater Future! These are the strategies for growth and development that are used every day.
