Housing departments that serve smaller campuses – those with fewer than 3,000 beds – face unique challenges but also provide valuable opportunities for both staff and students. During this symposium, panels of experienced professionals and thought leaders will share insights and actionable information covering topics such as leadership, decision-making, operation efficiencies, staff roles and responsibilities, and more.
Small Colleges Make Big Differences.
This one-day, virtual event is typically held each April with discounted rates for institutions that register their entire staff, making this an affordable and accessible professional development opportunity you won’t want to miss.
