Have you been wondering if a specific activity occurring in your collegiate recreation program is happening at other universities?
Would you like to see further investigation on a topic that has the potential to make an instrumental impact on collegiate recreation?
Now is the time to submit your ideas for the next Collegiate Recreation Trends study!
As the leader in collegiate recreation, NIRSA wants to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to current trends. With support from NIRSA Diamond Partner Precor, the Association will select a trend to be researched and will then publish a white-paper, providing in-depth analysis and expanding the resources that add value to our membership.
No idea is too small, so please submit them all! If you’ve noticed something coming up repeatedly in conversations with colleagues, on social media, or on the NIRSA discussion boards, now is the time to submit it for in-depth consideration.
With support from NIRSA Diamond Partner Precor, NIRSA will select a trend to be extensively researched.The submission form takes less than a minute to complete, and there is no limit on the number of topics you may submit. So talk with your colleagues, gather feedback from your students, and help NIRSA know what areas of study are of the most relevance and immediacy to you and your campus community!
Although one trend will ultimately be selected to be investigated and turned into a white paper, as was the case with this year’s trend of Employee Wellness, all of submissions and ideas are utilized. The submissions provide a valuable snapshot of this moment in the field and, therefore, will be shared with the NIRSA Assembly, our think tank, for further consideration and discussion.
The deadline to submit potential trends is May 31, so hurry and submit your ideas now!
