2026 Learning & Development Summer Learning Collaborative

Each summer, the Learning and Development Team in Human Resources collaborates across campus to create opportunities for staff and managers to learn new tools, improve processes, renew themselves, and connect with colleagues. This year, the Summer Learning Collaborative will run from June 1 to July 30.

For the full list of Summer Learning Collaborative sessions and registration links, visit the Learning and Development Learning Opportunities Calendar(opens in new window).

The information below includes special summer access details for the WREC and The Well, including check-in steps, facility hours, closure dates, and reservation guidance.

Some WREC and The Well services or activities may require a reservation through the WREC reservation system. The same WREC account is used for WREC and The Well reservation options. This system uses a separate WREC account and does not use your Chico State SSO credentials.

When the sign-in page opens, do not use the Chico State SSO option for this reservation system. Look directly below the SSO option for the WREC Username area. If you already have a WREC account, log in there. If you do not have a WREC account, select the Sign Up button below the WREC Username area. Creating a WREC account takes about one minute.
