The SERR conference

The Southeast Recreation Research (SERR) conference provides an exceptional opportunity for researchers and managers within the parks, recreation and environmental management fields to learn about and discuss each other's projects, research findings, and regional needs. The conference setting supports both formal presentations and informal discussions in a setting that emphasizes student engagement and development, in addition to the friendly exchange of research theories and practices.
