Book excerpt: Numerous studies have been completed on campus recreation's influence on students' college experiences, student employment, and involvement; however, few have encompassed all three topics in the same study. The purpose of this research study is to understand the experiences of first-generation college students who are employed in a campus recreation department at a mid-sized public institution in the Southeastern United States (MPISE). By utilizing a phenomenological qualitative method, the researcher was able to generate detailed accounts of the experiences the study's participants have encountered during their college career. Fourteen interviews were conducted, recorded, and analyzed in order to determine what common phenomena had occurred within the group of first-generation college students.
