RCRSP Testimonials

We asked RCRSP applicants to share their thoughts about the Professional Registry. Here is what some of them had to say:

Making a commitment to continuous learning and development is making a commitment to your constituents; the RCRSP credential demonstrates that you will provide them with experiences based upon the most current information available. It is a commitment to safe and knowledgeable programming.

• Vicki D. Highstreet of University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The Professional Registry is a way to identify, recognize, and benchmark individuals’ contributions to the profession and continuing commitment to learn, serve, and improve the field.

• Dr. James C. Turman of University of Minnesota - Twin Cities Campus

Full time recreational sports professionals should be recognized for the important roles they play in the development of college students. Participation in the NIRSA Professional Registry is an important step toward realizing this recognition.
