Erin is the Director of Advocacy & Strategic Partnerships with NIRSA: Leaders in Collegiate Recreation, which comprises over 4500 members on nearly 900 campuses throughout the United States and Canada. NIRSA’s vision is to inspire the development of healthy people and healthy communities world-wide.
NIRSA and Special Olympics have partnered for years around their shared value of inclusion. Together they continue to grow Special Olympics Unified Sports programs at colleges and universities. Erin is proud to help lead this partnership as a part of her broader work with NIRSA members to further equity and inclusion in higher education.
NIRSA also has a strategic priority to “be a driving force in an integrated approach to health and wellbeing,” and Erin works with partners across the higher education landscape to help make holistic wellbeing—necessarily inclusive of equity, diversity, and inclusion—a shared priority. A recent example of these efforts is the Inter-association Definition of Wellbeing.
