Shanty Creek Resort--Superintendent as Executive Award

SHANTY CREEK RESORT-SUPERINTENDENT AS EXECUTIVE AWARD

Shanty Creek Resort is a four seasons resort in Bellaire, Michigan. SCR recognizes the variety of skills that turf management graduates possess--agronomy, human resources, equipment operation and maintenance, financial analysis and budgeting, irrigation, construction, etc. We are looking to the future of not only the resort industry but more specifically, the development in the education of young turf management students. We believe that the skill set that most turf graduates possess lend to a greater potential in the abilities to adapt, problem solve and persevere in an array of situations.

The Superintendents as Executives (SAE) scholarship is awarded to the student that not only excels in the turf management program, but also shows an interest in a secondary concentration in business or a related field. The goal of this scholarship is to reward students who show the aptitude and ambition to grow in our indust in leadership positions beyond turf management. SCR wants to inspire future turf graduates to progress into positions as Directors of Agronomy, General Managers and Executives.
