Campus ChampionFor Jason Harcum, life is an adventure. This natural trailblazer travels the world extensively and shares his passion with our campus community as assistant director of recreational sports for outdoor pursuits (OP). Just back from leading a successful spring break trip to Joshua Tree National Park, Jason now introduces his participants to new challenges. He manages six programs that teach students lifetime leadership skills, engage them with the outdoors, inspire an appetite for our national, state and local parks, and offer lessons that cannot be taught in the classroom. Catch Jason in the OP Center. Better yet, sign up for his next adventure.
