WELCOME

Welcome to Virginia and Colonial Williamsburg! During this ti me of unprecedented challenges it is ap-

propriate that we are gathering in this historic locati on. The challenges faced by our nati on’s founders

required that they collaborate and uti lize all of their resources to successfully create a new nati on based

on principles that were revoluti onary at that ti me. We hope that you will use the ti me you have here

this week to relax, refl ect, share some Revoluti onary Thinking and prepare for the future.

The Host Committ ee has att empted to implement our theme throughout the program. In keeping with

our theme, we have reduced the amount of printed materials that you will receive and we will be uti liz-

ing electronic media to communicate with you throughout the conference. We have also made decisions

to cut costs in areas that have limited impact on our learning experience.

Again, Welcome. We’ve been looking forward to your arrival.

Jerry Roeder and John Evans

Host Committ ee Co-Chairs and the amazing, hard-working Host Committ ee

Steve Stauff erUniversity of KentuckySEAHO President, 2009-10

On behalf of the SEAHO Program Committ ee, welcome to SEAHO 2010! The members of the program committ ee have worked diligently to provide a broad spectrum of programming opportuniti es to enrich the conference experience of our dedicated colleagues throughout the region.

THE OPPRESSION GALLERYWednesday, February 24 10:00am - 6:00pm Computer Lounge

The Oppression Gallery is a diversity initi ati ve to represent the realiti es of oppression in an experienti al manner. It gives parti cipants the opportunity to see and hear the realiti es of oppression as a stepping stone towards creati ng diversity awareness.

The Oppression Gallery is intended to be eye-opening and consciousness-raising and is built as a brief introductory experience for those who have rarely experienced diff erence. The rati onale is that some people are oft en unable to fully understand oppression and discriminati on unti l they have experienced it fi rst-hand.

The experience should sti mulate thoughts, feelings, and emoti ons around the issues and images presented. Therefore the gallery is oft en shocking and disturbing to those who have never experienced blatant forms of discriminati on or oppression. A number of feelings can be evoked as a result of the full-sensory experience.

This program is sponsored by the SEAHO Human Relati ons Committ ee. We invite you to consider joining our eff orts. Please see our complete committ ee descripti on at our display.

Using Schlossberg’s Theory of Transiti ons to Revoluti onize Programming in Apartment Communiti es

Tim Blair, Associate Director, North Carolina State University

The unique aspects of apartment communiti es can create some signifi cant challenges to community development. Whether the community is upper-class students or internati onal students and their families, many of the theories used guide community development eff orts in traditi onal halls do not always translate well. Nancy Schlossberg’s Transiti ons Theory and concept of “marginality vs. matt ering” can help staff meet these challenges by providing a framework to direct eff orts that celebrate individuals and build community.

Getti ng Creati ve: Using Dining Services to Impact Resident Interacti ons

Shay Davis Litt le, Director of Residence Hall Administrati ve Operati ons, University of GeorgiaDarlena Jones, Director of Research and Development, Educati onal Benchmarking (EBI)

Longitudinal studies of the ACUHO-I/EBI Resident Assessment indicate that sati sfacti on with personal space and dining services has improved while personal interacti on has declined. Since personal interacti on is the top predictor of a student’s percepti on of the eff ecti veness of the residence hall, and an important component to student development, it is vital that programs bett er understand and work to improve personal interacti on. We propose that getti ng creati ve in the use of the dining facility (via creati ve meal plans create use of space or creati ve dining clubs) could promote student interacti on.

Insti tuti ons have invested in residence halls and increasingly require fi rst-year students to reside on-campus.

Nati onal data will be presented from parti cipates in the ACUHO-I/EBI Resident Assessment. Schools have seen dramati c increases in sati sfacti on with personal space but have witnessed a decline in students’ self reports of the quality of their peer-to-peer interacti ons - the most powerful predictor of their overall sati sfacti on and learning.
