This weeks #StaffSpotlightSunday recipient goes to one of our newer lifeguards, Sekhar! He’s been a lifeguard for Recreation Services for 3 months now.
“This is a job [that] allows you to stay fit while working[,] besides that it’s a life skill that comes in handy for the rest of my life,” Sekhar said. He also said that he likes his job so much because he gets to meet new people and expand his social circle.
Sekhar is an international graduate student from India with a Computer Science Major.
Some cool facts about him are that he can drive a stick shift, and he got his Mass driver’s license on his first try! He also tasted snow for the very first time while attending FSU!

Fittingly, Michael is a GCE student with a Movement and Sports Studies major. Whether you see him on the field or behind the desk, make sure to say hello! #fsurec #fsuim #fsurecreationservices
