Higher Education Meeting

From Momentum to Movement: Building our Higher Education Coalition Together

Join the Natural Start Alliance Higher Ed Coalition for an interactive session focused on strengthening connection, visibility, and shared direction across outdoor and nature-based programs in higher education and teacher preparation. We’ll map who’s doing what across institutions, explore diverse program models, and review emerging trends and survey insights.

This collective snapshot will inform future coalition efforts such as ongoing collaboration, shared resources, publications, or webinars — helping us turn individual efforts into a connected, lasting system.

The Higher Education Meeting will take place after lunch on Friday afternoon, at the same time as other concurrent sessions.

There is no cost to register, but registration is required, and space is limited to 50 participants.
