The basics

Low lift, high impact: Individual cohorts of up to 10 professionals meet monthly for 60-90 minutes. Each cohort is supported by NIRSA, but it’s cohort members who bring the energy, ideas, and expertise.


2025-2026 lineup

Cohorts are dedicated to key areas of campus recreation: Fitness & Group Exercise; Intramurals & Sport Clubs; Leadership & Mid-Level Management; Marketing, Programming & Revenue Generation, Operations & Facility Management; and Student Development & Supervision are the first topics available to NIRSA members.


Join a cohort

The seven pilot-year cohorts are full: You can join a waitlist to be notified of the next opportunity and even make suggestions about which future topics would be most helpful to your career growth.

Is your school a NIRSA member? Staff at NIRSA institutional member schools can participate for FREE! Professional and student members of NIRSA from nonmember schools can join for 50% off the regular price.
