For Students

NIRSA 2022 Portland

What NIRSA Students need to succeed

Career Services Center

Nobody can give you tips and tricks on how to make an impression on campus rec hiring managers better than campus rec hiring managers! Come learn from the best! Sign up for a mock interview and live one-on-one resume review so you can put your best foot forward when you’re ready to snag a job in rec. You can also attend informational sessions hosted by employers who have current or upcoming positions available on their campus or with their company. Also, you don’t want to miss the career fair!

N Zone

You know that saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”? Come get to know some awesome rec people in the N Zone! Hone those networking skills in a low-pressure, fun environment. There’ll even be a dedicated student lounge here. Plus, we’re cooking up some fun programming that we’ll share with you soon!

Breakfast and Connections

This is a time-honored tradition at the NIRSA Annual Conference. Enjoy breakfast and a stroll through the Expo with a seasoned rec professional and learn how they’ve advanced in their career! (Formally Take a Student to Lunch.)

Talk to an Expert

Meet professional rec members as well as graduate assistants. This is your opportunity to pick the brain of someone in your chosen career field or program area.
