Each year, a select number of senior housing and residence life professionals are invited to the exclusive ACUHO-I State of the Profession event. This event, limited to approximately 100 attendees, brings together some of the leading voices to engage with powerful thought leaders from both inside and outside of higher education. When you participate in this event, you will connect with peers, expand your thinking, exchange strategies, and gain a greater understanding of the conditions that will affect the future needs of campus housing. Simply put, you won’t look at your position or your campus the same way again.
