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 Jorge Juarez, the executive director of Sun Devil Fitness at Arizona State University.

Juarez shares about his humble beginnings and the road he took to finally leave Texas, finding himself at Arizona State.

He and Sheffield also talk about the role of family and work-life balance. It started early in his career but has continued to be an important aspect of his role as a director, especially when it comes to overseeing four separate facilities on four distinct campuses.

So whether it’s moderating the 2023 Campus Rec Leadership Summit, diving into the realm of well-being or participating in the Hi How Are You Campaign, I hope you can hear in the following conversation how Juarez works to find a work-life balance amidst all he does.
