2026 CNRx Symposium
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, featuring a keynote by Marc Berman, PhD (University of Chicago), author of Nature and the Mind. This year’s symposium will take place virtually on:
Friday, Nov 6 | 12-4:40pm Eastern
Join us! This virtual event is free and open to CNRx members and the broader public. Register for the Zoom event today.
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 an upcoming symposium. Proposals are closed for this year, but the RFP reopens each July.
