since of compassion and social responsibility within us all, we need to connect with the
issues personally in some way.

How Housing Works (and Why it Matters)

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

challenging but yet often demanded skill set required of knowledge workers in the new millennium. Whether

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

enhancements to the Corporate Partner Program, and the development of the MACUHO Magazine and new
MACUHO branding, Dr. Killion has served in leadership roles at Philadelphia University, the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia, and the Sigma Nu Fraternity. In all of these organizations, the ability to manage change was

Why by Simon Sinnek.

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 lea rning within Residence Life.

Wellness Focused Onboarding: Bringing Balance to New Beginnings
If we're successful when onboarding our new staff, we can increase employee engagem ent 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.

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

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 o r out of
Residence Life.

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.

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 comfo rtable bubbles or bursting
them, and challenge us to educate beyond our own perspective.

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

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

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

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.

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 Dive rsity 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 1012 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.
