RecWell Stories
Marc Poole
What is your success story? Know that what you share may help
motivate others.
My life has been enormously impacted by some amazing outdoor
experiences. I have forged amazing friendships and mentorships in some
of our world's most beautiful and sacred places. My truest success
story is every time I am able to share my passion for the outdoors
with someone through education. Belaying someone who achieves climbing
their first route outdoors, bringing someone to their first 14,000
foot peak, or paddling to an island with someone who is scared of the
ocean, my success comes in the form of other's joy and excitement and
is communicated through big smiles and high fives.
Why do you participate in Recreation & Wellness programs,
services, or events?
I work with Outdoor Adventures and the Climbing Center because
they are the mediums in which I love to impact others. Through
assisting in these programs I help students seek and find experiences
that will push and grow them to be better leaders, more inquisitive
students, harder workers, and more thoughtful citizens.
How has your involvement in Recreation & Wellness impacted
your experience at GVSU?
My brief time within the Recreation & Wellness team has
allowed me to meet so many awesome students and staff. While not being
a student or alumnus of GVSU, I have loved getting to know the Laker community.
