Welcome to the Director Download, powered by Campus Rec Magazine.

It’s time to go behind the curtain of the director role and have honest discussions with leaders in the campus recreation industry.

In this episode, host Grady Sheffield, the director of campus recreation at Towson University and the senior advisor to the Campus Rec Mastermind Groups, gives you the listener real and authentic conversation between himself and special guest Greg Durham, the director of Recreation and Wellness at Creighton University.

Durham found himself in the director’s seat much quicker than he expected after a journey with various twists and turns. As such, he speaks to being a young and new director both at the university table and in his role as the NIRSA Region V rep.

He and Sheffield chat about Durham’s growth in handling decisions, the surprising thing he had to step away from as a director and overcoming imposter syndrome.

I hope you enjoy the following conversation and walk away with new insight to fuel your own leadership growth.
