What to Expect Before, During and After STARS College
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 40-55 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 2012, 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.

"STARS College was an opportunity for me to meet professionals in Housing and Residential Life and Student Affairs. After spending a wonderful weekend learning about the impact professionals have on students in the field and learning about how to get started in the field I knew I was making the right decision by pursuing Higher Education Student Affairs for a career."
