UCA to host regional Resident Assistant Conference

UCA’s Department of Housing & Residence Life has been selected to host the 2007 Annual Resident Assistant Conference for the Southwest Association of College & University Housing Officers (SWACUHO). The regional conference consists of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico, and parts of Louisiana and Missouri.

Resident Assistants from colleges and universities around the region will come to UCA to learn new and exciting program ideas, brush up on leadership skills, and explore new trends in Student Affairs. UCA hosted the conference in 1998, but it has not been hosted by another Arkansas institution since then. Housing and Residence Life staff submitted a bid to host the RA conference at the regional conference in February 2006.

The conference will take place on the UCA campus Oct. 12-13 in the Brewer-Hegeman Conference Center. 400 people are expected to attend.
