2017 NIRSA Fitness & Wellness Institute
A part of 2017 NIRSA Triventure
November 30-December 2, 2017 • Marietta, Georgia
Fitness and wellness is becoming an integral part of not only the mission of collegiate recreation but of institutions across the country. Nowadays, fitness programming isn’t enough. Campuses are starting to take a more holistic view of student wellness. As demand for wellness programming grows, recreation professionals need to offer the latest and greatest programs to meet student needs.
The NIRSA Fitness & Wellness Institute is a multi-day educational and networking opportunity for fitness and wellness professionals. Class sessions and roundtable discussions, facilitated by leaders in the field, deliver fresh ideas and new insight into the development and implementation of fitness and wellness programming that is effective, fun, and safe.
Just in case you missed the 2015 institute, be sure to look at the 2015 schedule.
This is the only NIRSA event which truly pertains to Health and Fitness education.
