No matter your current skill level, career path, or available time, there is a way to engage with NIRSA and help lead our association. This session will include a pre-recorded video covering the five pathways to engagement and leadership within NIRSA. A live session will follow where attendees can learn about the 2023 deadlines and join breakout rooms to ask questions to folks currently serving in one of the many leadership pathways.

Erin Patchett, PhD
Director of Administration and Assessment; NIRSA President-Designee and Chair of Nominations and Appointments Committee
Colorado State University
My name is Erin Patchett (she/her) and you can call me EP. I currently work for Colorado State University Campus Recreation as the Director of Administration and Assessment. I've volunteered with NIRSA throughout my career, most recently as the 2021 NIRSA Annual Conference Program Chair and with the EDI Commission. Some of my most cherished friendships are with folx I've met during my journey in this field.
I am a graduate of the University of Iowa (B.S. Exercise Science, M.A. Leisure Studies) and the University of Northern Colorado (Ph.D. Sport Administration).
My favorite things to dialogue about are assessment, research, gender, pronouns, social justice, tattoos, emotional intelligence, and coffee.

I am passionate about Campus Recreation. I have been working in this field since 2001 as a student. I worked my way up the ranks to a Program Assistant now I am a Director. It has been a long crazy journey.
