What can you do with a degree in RSM?

Here’s how some of our Recreation & Sport Management alumni are putting their degrees to use:

Laura Rice, class of 2013: Ecusta Trail – Executive Director

In 2009, the Friends of Ecusta Trail was formed with a singular mission: to repurpose the abandoned 19+ mile spur line that once serviced Brevard, North Carolina’s Ecusta Paper Mill and transform it into a multi-use greenway. The 1894-era railroad had previously supported early tourism, local timber industries, and the paper mill until rail service ceased entirely in 2002.
