Annual Week of Giving

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to receive the scholarship to cover my entry fee to the ACUHO-I Housing Internship Program, and grateful to the ACUHO-I Foundation. That allowed me to have a wonderful and influential internship experience. It allowed me to enhance my customer service skills and gave me a sense of accomplishment when I could assist students effectively. Despite the initial nerves, I was gratified by my ability to address issues and support my colleagues as needed.”

“The Mid-Level Leadership Institute has been the most intentional professional development opportunity I have participated in thus far in my career. The cluster model, faculty leaders, and workshops supported open conversation, idea sharing, and relationship building among cohort members. The MLLI inspired reflection about my professional agency in a mid-management role, gave me pathways to increase my skills in project management and supervision, and provided me time to focus on how my own development can uplift my team. The MLLI serves as both a foundational skill building opportunity as well as a space for innovation for mid-level professionals in the campus housing community. I would encourage every mid-level professional to explore this institute!”

– Olivia Murphy, University of Maryland-College Park

“As a dedicated Higher Ed Professional, I recently attended the NHTI conference in Seattle, Washington. The experience was truly eye-opening, offering invaluable insights that have significantly contributed to my professional development. The conference provided a unique opportunity to engage in close-knit cluster groups, where I found it helpful to be vulnerable and open about the highs and lows of working in Housing and Residence Life. This supportive environment allowed for meaningful connections and honest discussions, which were both refreshing and inspiring. The experience not only geared me for the current semester but also reinforced the immense value of the programs offered by NHTI to campus housing professionals. The impact of this experience has left me with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for the support and growth opportunities within the field. Forever grateful for the opportunity and if I could do it all over again, I would.”

“I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for awarding me the scholarship to attend the 2024 ACUHO-I Conference. Your generous support not only eased the financial burden but also provided me with an invaluable opportunity to learn, network, and develop invaluable skills that I will be using to make me a more marketable mid-level manager candidate. The knowledge and connections I gained at the conference have already begun to influence my work positively, and I am excited to apply what I have learned to contribute meaningfully to our community. Thank you once again for this incredible opportunity and for the contributions overall that you all made to an amazing conference.”
