“My deepest gratitude for selecting me as a participant in the ACUHO-I Leadership Academy and for awarding me the generous scholarship to attend the 2025 Campus Home. LIVE! conference. Participating in the conference was a truly transformative experience. The opportunity to learn from and connect with housing professionals from across the country not only broadened my understanding of our field but also deepened my passion for the work we do in creating inclusive, safe, and supportive residential communities. I am honored to be part of a community that believes in developing its future leaders with such care and intention.” Taj Julien, University of Connecticut


“STARS College was a turning point for me—it not only deepened my understanding of campus housing, but also helped me decide to pursue higher education as my profession. The connections and insights I gained continue to shape my growth, and I believe the program offers tremendous value to anyone exploring this field.” Bobbie Rothenberger, University of Wisconsin Whitewater


“Attending the Mid-Level Leadership Institute was a highlight of my professional development. The institute provided intentional opportunities to discuss key components and issues within mid-level roles, cultivate relationships with other professionals, and affirm our responsibilities and roles within the field of higher education. I left MLLI with advice I can infuse into my work as well as knowledge on how I can create a roadmap for my future within the field.” Wildon Story, Johns Hopkins University


“NHTI reminded me why I chose this profession and why I belong here. It not only strengthened my skills and knowledge but also reignited my passion and confidence in serving students. The institute provided invaluable tools, meaningful connections, and lasting inspiration that I will carry throughout my career. I believe NHTI provides campus housing professionals with a transformative space to grow, reflect, and reconnect with the purpose and impact of their work.” Jai’Lyn C. Lover, Winston Salem State University


“Attending NHTI was an incredibly impactful experience for me both personally and professionally. The institute challenged me to pause and reflect on my leadership style, while equipping me with practical tools in areas like assessment, planning, risk management, and human resources. What stood out most was the emphasis on storytelling, psychological safety, and fostering belonging, concepts that directly shape the way I approach my work with students and staff. The cohort model also created a powerful network of colleagues who I can continue to learn from throughout my career. I believe NHTI offers housing professionals immense value by grounding them in essential competencies while inspiring them to create welcoming, trusting communities where both staff and residents can thrive, share their story and feel that they belong.” Miguel Sosa, University of North Florida
