Nature engagement supports healthy, resilient campus communities — and each campus doing this work has a unique story to tell.

Sessions will cover practical approaches to teaching, research, and outreach that support student well-being and academic success. Whether you're part of a member campus or just curious about this work, join us to hear stories from across the network. This year’s symposium will take place virtually on Friday, Nov. 6, noon – 4:40 p.m.
