The Student Recreation Center will be hosting a Summer Sports Camp for children ages 7-9 July 9-13 and ages 9-11 July 23-27. The camp will give children the opportunity to have fun, learn and participate in activities that will keep them physically fit. Cost of the camp is $75 per child and $50 for each additional immediate family member. The deadline for enrollment is May 31. Visit http://recreation.truman.edu or contact Scott Wagner at 785.7739 for more information.
A consortium of groups in Kirksville will be offering Entrepreneurship 101 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 2 at the Kirksville TCRC, designed to help people start their own consulting businesses. This is a way for knowledge workers to create niche employment for themselves beyond what the Kirksville market offers. A number of spouses, partners or householders of Truman faculty/staff might be interested in participating in this workshop to learn how to translate their skills and education into such an enterprise. This workshop is also suitable for students who desire to create self-employment as they work their way through school, or who may wish to settle in Kirksville upon graduation. Steve Holt from the University of Missouri Business Development will be the workshop facilitator. Lunch will be provided and the cost is $25 per person. Contact Julie Lochbaum at 785.4391 for more information.
