Enjoy the “virtual” experience
The AbSPORU Virtual Institute 2020 is designed to offer a rich experience with excitement, interaction and momentum.
Delivered online over 6 weeks this fall, the AbSPORU Virtual Institute 2020 will feature synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (independent) activities and networking opportunities meant to simulate the experiences that people value most about in-person events.
Not in-person, but VIRTUALLY together!
Learn more about the rich experiences our past in-person POR Institutes have offered!
