NIRSA Canada intuitions continue to work together to keep our campuses on the leading edge of campus recreation.

Join members of our leadership team and guest facilitators from across the country in conversations about best practices and challenges faced on campuses across the country.

Below you will find a chart with the date and time (Eastern time zone), topic area, facilitator and their contact information, as well as, the Zoom link to access the webinar space. We kindly ask that you submit any topics, questions, or areas of interest you wish to discuss to your topic facilitator by Thursday, November 14 so the facilitators can begin creating an agenda for their call.  Please don’t be shy and submit so the session is beneficial.

Please note that both the Clubs and Camps round table sessions are 2 hours in length.

We look forward to seeing you all, hearing the amazing discussion, and sharing many ideas across the country!  Remember to book these meetings in your calendar so you don’t forget and share these with all your coworkers!
