Annual Cortland Recreation Conference

Once again, it is time to start thinking about the Annual Cortland Recreation Conference, the longest student-run conference in the country. On November 5th and 6th, 2009 this student-organized conference will be celebrating its 59th year with the theme: “Destination ReGREENation”. This theme is intended to focus on, but is not limited to: promoting local recreation; environmental stewardship; outdoor recreation; inclusive recreation services, and sustainable practices. We are soliciting presenters for 60 and 90 minute sessions focused on the theme of this year’s conference.

An element new to the conference this year is a Research Symposium. The Symposium is a component of the Annual Conference and features formal, peer-reviewed research presentations, followed by questions and comments from the audience. The Cortland Recreation Conference committee wants to provide presenters with an opportunity to take advantage of the generality of our theme, and to present topics which the presenters feel are important to the needs of both participants and providers within the profession. We encourage you to consider sharing a presentation at the 59th Cortland Recreation Conference. Graduate research is strongly encouraged.

The link to the Cortland Recreation Conference website can be found at the Department of Recreation, Parks and Leisure Studies homepage: http://www.cortland.edu/rec. There you will find all the necessary information pertaining to this year’s conference as well as the Proposal Form the committee would like you complete and submit. Thank you for considering our request to be an important part of the legacy of the Cortland Recreation Conference.

Sincerely,
