ACUHO-I’s Academic Initiatives Conference explores the critical initiatives and programs that sync students’ academic experiences with their on-campus living experiences. Explore and share strategies related to living-learning programs, residential colleges, faculty-in-residence, residential curriculum, tutoring, peer mentoring programs, and more.
