Residential Life Staff Attend the Mid-Atlantic Association of College and University Housing Officers Conference 

The Residential Life team had six members attend the Mid-Atlantic Association of College and University Housing Officers (MACUHO) Annual Conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from October 14 through 16. Attendees were community directors Kendrian Collins, Darline Cadet, Jerel McDaniel, Kayla Fariclough, and LaDonna Wyatt, as well as Tiffany Bromfield, director of residential education.

During the conference, staff participated in educational sessions focused on student staff recruitment, the use of artificial intelligence, navigating role transitions, and cultivating professional growth and purpose. Each staff member also participated in a 30-minute individual coaching session with Executive-in-Residence Brenda Ice, providing an opportunity for reflection, professional development, and goal setting. In addition, team members established valuable connections with colleagues and housing professionals from across the region.

The team’s participation also resulted in opportunities for two community directors to participate in regional leadership and service. Wyatt will serve a two-year term as co-chair of MACUHO’s Social Transformation and Advocacy Committee, while Cadet will serve as co-chair of the Graduate Student Engagement Committee. Additionally, several staff members have applied to serve on the MACUHO Annual Conference Committee, demonstrating their continued commitment to professional engagement and service to the association.

Looking ahead, MACUHO will host its 2027 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel from November 3 through 5, 2027. With several team members pursuing additional opportunities to contribute, the Residential Life team looks forward to continued regional engagement, professional growth, and leadership within MACUHO.
