Date: Wednesday, September 23
Time: 2:00pm-4:30pm, Eastern
Location: Online via Zoom

Our “open source online textbook for RAs” keeps expanding! RA360.org is a page that pulls together 40+ resources pages covering topics, competencies, and skills to help your student staff. Videos, podcast episodes, and blog posts you can use in your upcoming training programs.

Roompact is holding its ninth annual door dec contest! This contest is open to student staff (RAs, CAs, etc.) at schools who currently use Roompact’s software on their campus. The door decs must be sent by September 30th at 11:59pm local time to be considered.

Looking to give your student staff ideas for door decs and bulletin boards? We’re created a Roompact Topics page just for them.

If you’re heading to the ACUHO-I Content Conferences (Facilities, BizOps, and ResEd) this fall, make sure to stop by our social.

Roompact Fellows act as scholars-in-residence to provide support to Roompact schools. They will be contributing to our blog, podcast, and webinar series throughout the year and will be presenting at the R2 conference!

This webinar introduces supervisors of student and professional staff teams in residential life to participatory processes as a foundation for effective team leadership. We’ll cover practical tools for inclusive decision-making, active listening, and co-creating community norms and agreements with your team. You’ll also learn how to use circles as a structure for building connection and navigating difficult conversations, alongside frameworks for approaching conflict and accountability in your residential community.

“Buy-in” is one of the most common challenges in student affairs. Whether it’s residential curriculum, assessment, or new initiatives, staff are often told they need to “get others on board”—but rarely given tools that actually work on a Tuesday when they’re trying to do their job.

This session reframes the conversation. Instead of focusing on convincing people to care, we’ll explore how everyday work can be designed so that key priorities are easier to follow through on—and harder to avoid. Participants will walk away with practical ways to build expectations, simplify processes, and reduce friction in their own roles, regardless of position.”

Join us for one hour of learning how to navigate 13 assessment horror stories.

Utilizing a curricular approach for learning allows student affairs professionals to be intentional in designing and implementing learning strategies that are reflective of students’ development. For a curriculum to have a positive impact on students’ development, the environment must be conducive for learning. During this session participants will learn about the characteristics that define a learning organization and evaluate how well those characteristics are reflected in their organization.
