Thank you for coming!
The Summit is always one of the highlights of the year. The roundtable discussions and networking sessions provide great insights into what’s happening in campus recreation and allow for chances to connect with each other in a more intimate setting. As a sponsor, it’s really awesome to hear directly from these leaders to understand their needs and how we can continue growing together.

The Campus Rec Leadership Summit takes a room full of people with various affiliations and creates a syndicate of colleagues who can support each person through a cascade of challenges. Leaders helping leaders.

Associate Director of Operations and Student Development, Portland State University
This past Summit I met new colleagues excited about programs, services and operations at their respective institutions. This excitement reminds me of why I entered the field of campus recreation: to help support the well- being of others for a lifetime. Finally, I cannot forget to mention the long- lasting relationships with the wonderful vendors who continue to reach out during the year to say ‘hello.’ I do not get that attention at any other campus rec conference.

Sponsoring the Campus Rec Leadership Summit is more than just an investment in the present, it's a commitment to shaping a healthier, more vibrant future for campus recreation. By supporting this gathering of campus rec directors, we empower them to challenge their limits, celebrate camaraderie, and embrace the joy of sharing great ideas. This Summit is unique and a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision.
Marc Loomer

The Summit provided an informative, engaging and interactive space that has undoubtedly equipped me with the resources to elevate as a leader and remain connected to this incredible network. I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend the Campus Rec Leadership Summit and look forward to participating in next year's event.
Morgan Newton
Director of Campus Recreation and Wellness Coppin State University
As a first-time attendee, I didn’t know what to expect but I was blown away by the 2.5 days with colleagues. The Summit is exceptionally organized and allows for meaningful conversations with other directors through thoughtful roundtables, social activities and interactions with vendors. As a 24-year veteran in campus rec, I was most excited and surprised to meet so many new people. I left with new ideas from colleagues and vendors and feeling refreshed from spending time with other directors.
