opportunity that takes part within each conference, The Service Learning Project!

Each year, interested MACUHO members volunteer some of their conference time to

think about and reflect on how service learning takes part in their your professional

and personal lives within the realms of Residence Life, Student Affairs, and Higher

Education.

Many would agree that in order to further understand societal issues and increase a

since of compassion and social responsibility within us all, we need to connect with the

issues personally in some way.

We are set to commence the project 8:00 to 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 28. We ask that everyone

who is interested and has signed up to meet us at the Common Ground Room, located in room 116 at

How Housing Works (and Why it Matters)

Many housing professionals begin their careers in Residential Life after completing a masters program in

counseling and student affairs. These programs often contain little or no formal coursework in organization

management, budget, facilities or operations. Understanding of these practical elements of housing is key to

success in the housing field and provides a foundation for a broad array of leadership positions in higher

education. Whether you want to prepare for your next career step or simply want to do a better job in

facilitating your students’ success, this primer will introduce you to the housing basics every housing

professional should know.

it's new professionals adapting to a new position, mid-level professionals adapting to changes in their

organizational leadership and their strategic priorities, or seasoned professionals adapting to changes in the

various environmental factors that impact their communities, the ability to understand and embrace change is

vital to success in future organizations. During the 90 minute session Dr. Killion will facilitate a self-assessment

instrument measuring your ability to embrace change and a group discussion about your comfort level in

working with change in your organization. In addition to serving a s President of MACUHO and leading our

Sharing the Journey: Teaching and Learning In Residence Life

The experience of shaping the world you live in day-in and day-out is powerful, even more so is recognizing

your ability to do that through education, innovation and persistence. How would you a nswer someone who

asks you to identify what your students are learning by living in the residence halls? Would you have an

answer to that question that you would feel is grounded in both practice and data? Would you feel sure that

your answer would genuinely represent the best of the work that your team is doing to support and facilitate

the opportunity for engaged learning that exists everyday? For just over ten years, my journey has been an

evolution focusing on how to design and support intentional le arning opportunities within the residential

experience. During this presentation, we will discuss the development and support of residential curricula,

the construction of a professional community that provides partnership and challenge, the utilization o f

action-based assessment and strategic planning, as well as the endearment of great joy and frustration along

the way. You are welcome to hear about my journey and to share your own as we learn together about

building the best possible communities of learning within Residence Life.

procedures that come with it. However, in order to be fully compliant, all staff must be trained and

Wellness Focused Onboarding: Bringing Balance to New Beginnings

If we're successful when onboarding our new staff, we can increase employee engagement and wellbeing

from day one. Designing and implementing a well-balanced training program for new hires can result in long

term rewards for both the employee and the employer. Using Rath & Hartner's (2010) five elements of

wellbeing (career, social, phys ical, financial, and community) as a foundation, we'll discuss how to create a

welcoming and supportive program emphasizing well-being, autonomy, and mission which aims to engage

new employees early. Come put new focus on training strategies as well as share your success stories for

onboarding.

Strategic Planning Process

This session will describe the strategic planning process for the Division of Student Affairs at St.

Mary's College of Maryland. Following the hiring of a new Dean of Students in June 2014, the Division

started the strategic planning process. The division did not engage in the usual SWOT analysis.

Instead, everyone in the division engaged in creative writing of something we called "River Stories."

From there, a committee discerned the common themes from all of the River Stories, created

strategic initiatives and tactics, and obtained buy-in and support from the entire division. Join us to learn how

you can adapt this process to your campus, and practice creating a strategic plan.

Location: 108

Service, Comfort, or Emotional Support?: The Evolution of Disability Law and Campus Housing

Once, only fish were permitted as pets in campus housing. Now, we must balance competing rights

and mandates related to service, comfort, and emotional-support animals. This session begins with

an overview of laws directly bearing on campus housing--Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of

1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (and the Amendments Act of 2009), and the Fair

Housing Act of 1968 (and the Amendments Act of 1988)--and a close examination of application to

animals in campus housing and alignment with Federal law. We conclude with implications residence life and

renovation/construction staff.

If Residence Life Is The Game, These Are The Rules

Have you ever been asked what it is that you do for a living and struggled through answering that question,

simply because "what you do" seems like such a large question to answer. Have you ever gone searching for

the missing handbook for Residence Life that should have been given to you on your first day, but somehow it

went missing? Never fear, it is here with us at MACUHO 2015. When we are considering our daily lives, how

can we be sure that what we say we do, truly lines up with what we want to be doing and what we should be

doing. Join me in exploring the ten rules for navigating the world of Residence Life that will open up our paths

toward success.

Next Steps: Moving Up or Moving Out of Residence Life

Whether you are a "Res Lifer for Life" or a "Res Lifer for Now," we should always be considering what

we envision our next step in our career path to be. In Residence Life and Student Affairs, it is essential

to evaluate how we are spending our extra time and if it is serving us well. This session will examine

how you can set goals for yourself, acquire experience in other functional areas, and evaluate if your

current efforts are going to help you move in to your next career step, whether that is in or out of

Residence Life.

St. Mary's College of Maryland initiated a Faculty-in-Residence (FIR) program during the 2014-2015

academic year with great success. Now in its second year, our FIR program focuses on mindfulness,

stress management, and self-care. The program operates on a shoe-string budget. Join us for this

There’s no Such Thing as Unfavorable Data: Turning Assessment into Results

What do you do when data identify a potentially embarrassing poor result? What if the data suggest you’re

doing really well in an area you’ve hoped for more programming money to support next year? Many of us

know the importance of assessment, but far fewer of us know how to shape and use data effectively to

influence institutional decision-making and processes. In this session we’ll quickly review assessment basics.

Our time together will use real life cases to demonstrate the power of data to influence students, peers and

political campus processes.

Location: 205

Presented by: Dr. Nancy Young, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Truth Tellers: Forget About Balance (the real realities of being a Student Affairs manager)

As much as we all strive to best equip ourselves and our staff members with the skills, tools and opportunities

to excel in the field, we often shy away from discussing hard truths. In Truth Tellers: Forget About Balance (the

real realities of being a Student Affairs manager), we will have a no-nonsense, honest conversation about the

qualities that you need to bring to your practice in order to stand out, get ahead and get noticed, as well as

the lifestyle that you can expect to have.

Shame, Vulnerability & Privilege

Based on the work of Dr. Brene Brown, we will discuss shame and vulnerability through the le ns of

social justice work. Discussions about privilege can often lead to feelings of shame and guilt that can

lead to silence and distress. These feelings can immobilize us, obstructing the work towards justice. In

this session, we will talk about the importance of moving past shame in order to approach

conversations of justice with empathy and an open heart and mind. We will share techniques on

building shame resilience and offer opportunities to practice vulnerability.

We Didn't Start the Riot

As student affairs professionals, we constantly find ourselves handl ing crises which we did not cause.

When it comes to conduct craziness, facilities catastrophes, staff turmoil or administrative

nightmares, we are experts in navigating, fixing, teaching and developing. Increasingly however, we

are asked to guide our students through the challenges not only of campus communal living, but of

local, national and global citizenship - Ebola, Ferguson, Baltimore etc. This session will explore our

role in true student development, ask us to question whether we are building comfortable bubbles or bursting

them, and challenge us to educate beyond our own perspective.

Location: 108

Value-Added of Brick and Mortar Education: A Qualitative Study of What Residents Learn from Living On-

Campus with Others Who are Different

With costs soaring, colleges must identify value-added benefits of campus services. Campus housing provides

learning opportunities that benefit graduates entering a diverse workforce. The Unive rsity of Maryland's

Department of Resident Life conducted an intensive qualitative study to explore what students learn from

living in diverse residence halls. The presentation covers findings and best practices that may apply to a variety

of student affairs settings. Also covered are suggestions for conducting qualitative research with practitioners.

Truth Tellers: Move Up or Move On (and why you should always be searching)

As much as we all strive to best equip ourselves and our staff members with the skills, tools and opportunities

to excel in the field, we often shy away from discussing hard truths. In Truth Tellers: Move Up or Move On

(and why you should always be searching) we will talk about the realities that exist for the field in regards to

job availabilities and career advancement, the need to continually challenge yourself and the ownership you

need to take in the process.

Irreconcilable Differences? Can Student Development and Customer Service Coexist?

Can the ideas of student development and customer service coexist? This program will generate a

modern, common understanding of both student development and customer service; individuals will

also discuss their own personal and professional values with regards to these philosophies, where

they fall on a continuum, and how they align (or misalign) with their organization's stance on student

development and/or customer service. Strategies for reconciling these differences (if any) are examined.

Maraudership: Creating a Professional Development Series on a Budget

No money, no problem. Be your own expert! During this session, we will teach participants how to

create an internal professional development series using professionals from your own campus. Too

often, Housing staff are bogged down and forget to continue to develop their skills or do not have the

financial support to attend conferences or outside trainings. The goal of this session is to present how

our Maraudership Professional Development series was developed. Using interactive activities,

participants will experience a taste of the series itself and how to create a similar experience on their campus

with little to no funding.

Location: 105

Presented by: Alison Sehl, Millersville University and Lori Souder, Millersville University


Equalizing the Playing Field: Cultivating Safe Spaces for LGBTQ Athletes

Student athletes face numerous unique challenges as they balance the rigors of academia with the

physical and time consuming obligations as athletes. Student athletes that identify as LGBTQ have a

heavier burden: challenging negative stereotypes, coping with new identities, and experiencing various

stages of the coming out process. This interactive program will educate participants on the

experiences of LGBTQ student-athletes, and how involving key stakeholders and establishing positive

collaborations can help create safe spaces for these athletes on college campuses. Professionals need to

embody an "one for all" attitude to help these students achieve success on and off the field.

RAs have really big jobs. We put a great deal of faith and trust in them to handle whatever comes at them.

We train them on all the policies and protocols they need to know in preparation for the journey ahead. It

approach fosters innovation and creativity and stimulates the development of positive and highl y

productive team dynamics. The needs of our students are diverse and ever evolving, and programs,

policies, and procedures are in need of analysis and revision. Complex campus problems require

creative and collaborative solutions. How does your team create space for professional and student

staff to innovate beyond the benchmark? Learn and practice the “yes, and” approach to bringing out the best

and brightest ideas on your staff.

Making the Most of Your Degree

Your degree says a lot about you. In higher education and specifically in student affairs, it is very possible for

your degree to make or break you. With the number of professionals who have a higher education specific

Graduate degree, where does that leave the rest of us without one? This session will explore what it means to

work in higher education without having the corresponding degree. What challenges do we face? What

unique characteristic do we bring to table? We will discuss how we can shape our career, our experiences,

and our degree to move seamlessly within the field of higher ed and, most importantly, to best serve our

students.

How to Build Rapport with Students Quickly and Effectively

It is often said that, "You only get one chance to make a first impression, and in our work with

students first impressions can be crucial for building rapport. Without this initial relationship step,

students may not feel comfortable opening up or sharing their experiences with us. Building rapport

with students can both impact our work, and the way our students interact with us and view us as a

resource for future interactions. As you are talking with students for the first time, being collaborative

and forming a partnership is important because they are the expert in their own lives. Combining our own

tried and true tips and tricks, along wit h ideas from Motivational Interviewing and the four aspects of

acceptance, this session will explore how to easily build rapport with students in a meeting or interaction, in

order to influence and change the way our students engage with us.

Sustainability & Programming in the Residence Halls

through hands-on, high-impact programs. This session will discuss the 5 steps of the consumer process (as

made popular by Annie Leonard in her book The Story of Stuff), discuss sustainability in a way to make it

understandable and make it relatable to students, as well as discuss several program ideas/resources that you

can provide for your RAs.

External Rebranding: Giving Up Control & Navigating Your Role

Does your marketing catch the eye of your students? Achieving brand recognition is key and once your department has an established persona, you are golden! But what happens when it's time to refresh your image? Many schools now turn to outside firms to help with the process, but where do

we fit in the process? How do you work with an external firm to make sure your department's voice and message is communicated? What is your role? Giving up control is hard, come learn how we navigated (and still are navigating) the ups, downs, twists, and turns of this process.

MACUHO Diversity Statement

MACUHO IS PROUD TO SUPPORT A DIVERSE POPULATION ON OUR MEMBER CAMPUSES.

“MACUHO is committed to the basic human rights of every individual and values the rich diversity of our members and member organizations. Members and guests of the Association are expected to exhibit appropriate respect toward others, to understand that MACUHO opposes all acts of intolerance which degrade

the human spirit, and to question inappropriate behavior. MACUHO encourages participation by all members in all Association programs, events, conferences, workshops, and activities. ”

MACUHO Committees DIVERSITY COMMITTEE

The mission of the MACUHO Diversity Committee is to provide professionals and institutions within the region access to resources that help to promote the basic rights of humankind. Through the strategies of awareness, education, programming and assessment, we strive to validate and appreciate increasingly diverse campus

communities, thereby enhancing lifelong learning experiences. We take aim to educate, engage, and challenge ourselves and our colleagues in our own lives and in our work with students to move from tolerance, to acceptance, to the celebration of cultural and individual differences and similarities.

We pursue this mission by creating a “Diversity Track” for the programming sessions at the MACUHO Annual

Conference, as well as creating engagement opportunities such as the Annual Service Learning Project. We

advocate for inclusive amenities, such as gender inclusive restrooms, at all MACUHO events and seek to

promote dialogue about all varieties of diversity topics on the Diversity Blog found on the MACUHO website. If

you are interested in being part of anything we do, or have thoughts about how we could better include or

support our MACUHO members, please seek us out at the Committee Expo!

Lisa A. Pierce Volunteer Incentive Program for Students (VIPS) Every year the MACUHO Host Committee, Recruitment & Retention Committee and Executive Board invite 10-

12 undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in Student Affairs to be a part of the Lisa A. Pierce Volunteer Incentive Program for Students. In its eighth year, this program provides an opportunity for undergraduate student staff members to learn more about the field of Student Affairs by attending the annual

MACUHO conference. In exchange for volunteering and attending a special series of sessions at the conference, VIPS participants will have his/her conference registration fee waived.

In 2001, Lisa A. Pierce founded a program called VIPS in the MACUHO region. As a method for recruitment, the Lisa A. Pierce VIPS Program focuses on bringing undergraduate students interested in Student Affairs to the

annual MACUHO conference. Interested students must apply and be selected to attend the program.

VIPS applicants are selected based upon the quality and completion of the online application, at the MACUHO

website. Preference will also be given to undergraduate students in their junior or senior years, attending the

program for the first time.

Educational Award Programs During each of the educational programs offered at the Annual Conference, you will be asked to provide

feedback on the session to help determine our region’s best offerings. Presenters and facilitators receive varying awards and recognition and your participation is greatly valued.

The Region’s Best Award provides incentive for quality programs and recognizes superior presenters who are not eligible for the Best Presentation by a New Professional. The chosen program will be submitted to be

presented at the next ACUHO-I Conference as “MACUHO’s Region’s Best.”

The Best Presentation by a New Professional Award is given to an outstanding new professional who has not presented at a regional or national conference (excluding Student Staff/Live -In Conferences).

The Best 30 Minute Program Award provides incentive for those members who present during the 30 Minute

sessions. These programs are offered during Program Sessions 5A & 5B.
