Participating in intramural sports is one of the many benefits NC State faculty/staff get as members of Wellness and Recreation.

Meet Ashwin Prasad β24, a marketing assistant and Business Administration major concentrating in Information Technology.
Ashwin shared what he enjoys about working with Wellness and Recreation: βI`ve enjoyed using the opportunity to engage in video content creation throughout my time at WellRec. Whether I`m filming Instagram Reels with my fellow student marketing assistants or conceptualizing video ideas to meet the marketing needs of different divisions, It`s rewarding to see the impact of my efforts as a videographer for Wellness and Recreation. Over the last three years, I have met incredible staff members from simple small talk in the office to in-depth projects done for them that helped me build a sense of community at WellRec. I`ve always cherished the conversations I`ve had and make sure I can build upon them each time to build those personal and professional connections."
Ashwin, congratulations and good luck on your future career! π
