Dear NERA Current and Future Members,
We are so excited for the upcoming NERA 2022 conference and can’t wait to see you all in person again starting October 19th through the 21st! We are once again convening at the Trumbull Marriott in Trumbull, CT.
This year’s conference theme, ”Supporting Student Learning in a Dynamic Environment”, speaks to the evolving environment in which our student learners across the country find themselves. We need research-based solutions to support student well-being in this constantly changing and non-traditional learning environment.
We received so many fabulous workshop proposals and have lined up many engaging speakers and invited panel discussions. As always, you can expect interesting paper and poster presentations, as well as great roundtable discussions. Please find important conference and hotel registration information and program highlights from the upcoming conference in the email. The preliminary program will be available in mid-September and the finalized version will be available the first week of October.

Conference registration includes your meals
Because all meals are included in registration fees, we need accurate estimates of how many people will attend each meal at the hotel. So, during the registration process, you will be asked which meals you plan to attend at this time.
Similarly, we need estimates of how many people will attend the pre-conference workshops. During registration, you will be asked which workshops you plan to attend.
