Concurrent Session Blocks

We’re planning eight concurrent session blocks that will roll-out a mix of pre-recorded, live, and simu-live (a pre-recorded session with live response options) learning sessions and feature multiple virtual formats.

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; digital engagement strategies; and integrated health and wellbeing efforts.

Check out the Live Sessions

On-demand Access

Much of the program will be recorded and accessible on-demand to individual registrants through April 30, 2021.

Virtual booths in the NIRSA Campus Rec & Wellness Expo are also accessible through April 30.
