The NIRSA Collegiate Sport Club Program Committee invites NIRSA Members to submit presentation proposals for this biennial event of educational sessions and round tables.


Be an expert presenter at the NIRSA Collegiate Sport Club Symposium

As a thank you for sharing their experiences and expertise in sport clubs management, presenters will receive a $100 NIRSA voucher as well as earn Professional Involvement Credits (PICs) which can be used towards renewal applications into the Professional Registry.

Presenting at the Symposium is a great opportunity to build a professional profile and share innovations in sport club programming on a national scale. Each education session focuses on topics relevant to collegiate sport clubs, including but not limited to:

  • Advisory Boards
  • Budgeting
  • Hazing
  • Leadership Training
  • National Governing Bodies
  • Risk Management (insurance, concussions & athletic training)
  • Role of Coaches/Advisors
  • Social Justice
  • Sport Club Councils
  • Sport Club Trends

The deadline to submit a presentation proposal is January 14, 2013.

“The Collegiate Sport Club Symposium program committee is really excited about this year’s Symposium in St. Louis, Missouri,” said Co-Chair Shane Bennett of Southern Illinois University. “We are working on bringing new and creative topics for discussion, we hope to see you at the Gateway to the West.”

Whether or not you decide to present, you won’t want to miss the 2013 NIRSA Collegiate Sport Club Symposium in St. Louis, Missouri on June 12-14, 2013. The Collegiate Sport Club Symposium brings together students and professionals for an opportunity to network and share best-practices in Sport Club management. The symposium curriculum will address current issues, upcoming trends, and a number of other topics relevant to collegiate sport clubs.
