This spring, our Association will gather in Portland to reconvene, reconnect, and move forward together at the 2022 NIRSA Annual Conference & Campus Rec and Wellness Expo taking place March 29 – April 1. NIRSA 2022 session details and networking events are now available on the NIRSA 2022 website!

More than 100 presenters will share knowledge and facilitate conversations through engaging sessions at NIRSA 2022. There will be a number of sessions on key topic areas that are especially relevant for the profession today, like higher education leadership; equity, diversity, and inclusion competencies; and integrated health and wellbeing efforts.

As part of the program, we’re planning nine concurrent session blocks of learning sessions, in addition to daily general sessions.
