We are excited to unveil the new identity of the Residence Education Conference, formerly known as the Academic Initiatives Conference, which reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of residence life programming. This rebranding is not just a name change, but a reflection of the ongoing transformation in how we approach residential education and student development. The decision to rebrand the conference stems from our commitment to adapting to the needs of modern higher education.
Introducing the Residence Education Conference
While we remain committed to foundational topics such as living-learning programs and residential curriculum, the scope of this conference has expanded to encompass a wider range of critical areas in residential education. Building on foundational topics like living-learning programs, residential curriculum, student conduct, well-being, staff development, and leadership. This conference is for residence life professionals who are seeking to enhance the residential experience and foster student success.
