Campus Nature Rx Symposia

7th Annual Campus Nature Rx Network Symposium (2026)

Nature engagement supports healthy, resilient campus communities — and each campus doing this work has a unique story to tell. The 2026 CNRx Symposium brings together educators, researchers, students, and partners to share theirs: what they're teaching, what they're learning, and what's working (and not working) inside the classroom and beyond. 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 – 4:30pm ET

Join us!

This virtual event is free and open to CNRx members and the broader public. Register for the Zoom event today. Once the roster of speakers is complete, the full agenda will be posted on this page. In the meantime, watch videos from previous symposia on our YouTube Channel. 

Share your CNRx Story!

If you are faculty, staff, or a student at an Active CNRx Member Institution, we invite you to share your CNRx story at the symposium. Complete the Symposium RFP — priority is given to applications received by Sept 1.
