We’ve been having so much fun sharing, liking, tweeting, and hanging out virtually with our NIRSA family on Facebook and Twitter over the past few years!

Whether we’re sharing Facebook photo albums, liking each other’s status updates, partaking in the monthly #RecChats, or sharing #RecDay creativity and excitement, there’s little we love more than helping our members use these shared spaces to inspire each other and share their good work! It is with this in mind that we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of NIRSA’s Pinterest page!

Pinterest, widely acknowledged as the third largest and fastest growing social media platform, is a self-described “tool for collecting and organizing things you love.” The space allows you to set up virtual boards around things you’re interested in—be it healthy recipes, new workout ideas, or pictures that just make you laugh.

NIRSA’s Pinterest page is your place to browse for tips, ideas, and collegiate rec-specific inspiration.

You can pin material here from other websites, helping you bookmark your favorite things in one, easy to reach, visually-awesome space. You can also search through other pins and follow other boards and pinners that share your interests. We’d love to have you come follow us, and we hope we can provide you a wealth of information and resources to assist you in inspiring healthy people and communities on your campus.

In addition to several general interest boards—“Good (for you) Eats” and “Inspiration & Motivation,” just to name a few—we also have NIRSA-specific boards. Want some insight into how your fellow members are enacting NIRSA values on their campuses? Looking for new ideas to motivate your campus? Check out boards like “NIRSA Members in Action” or “Campus Rec Programming.”
