STARS College is a three-day experience for undergraduate students interested in learning more about Student Affairs and the Housing profession.  Blending large group presentations, interactive activities, roleplay situations, self-evaluation, and small mentoring groups, STARS presents the world of Housing to those interested in the field. Each participant will be asked to have an "on-campus mentor," who will play a vital role in continued mentoring and exposure to the field after STARS.

STARS College accommodates up to 40 current sophomores and juniors who are interested in pursuing a career in housing. Participants must have at least one full year of undergraduate college left after August of 2010, and must have demonstrated significant interest in Housing / Residential Life / Student Affairs through their involvement and / or work experience during their time as an undergrad.

"I was encouraged to recognize my own values and, in turn, apply them toward a career choice. Some of the values listed included personal development, community, creativity, and enjoyment (it was unreal to see such a large number of people at the ACUHO-I Conference who actually enjoy their job!) and I am confident that I will find these values and more through a career in housing and residential life."

-  David Sutton, The Ohio State University, 2009 STARS graduate
