28 webinars designed to complement your training programs are available through McGregor & Associates

The recently expanded webinar series offers insider advice and information by NIRSA member and leading authority on risk management Ian McGregor to collegiate recreation students and professionals; McGregor’s expertise has helped university departments and other organizations reduce their exposure to liability for more than a decade.

The inherent allure of any webinar series is in its accessible, convenient, cost-effective lectures. What sets this webinar series apart, though, is its enhanced ability to take this inherent allure one step further. Unlike other series, which have specific broadcast schedules that can often interfere with the hectic work schedules of collegiate recreation and risk management professionals, this series allows you and your team to view any of the purchased webinars at your own convenience and pace of learning.

Individual webinars range between 15 minutes and 60 minutes and, of the 28 total webinars, nine are completely new offerings. The full scope of webinars includes series dedicated to:
