November+December Talking Stick Available Online
It hardly seems possible that it is time for the November+December 2009 issue of the Talking Stick. Yet here it is. We’re closing the year with a jam-packed issue filled with stories that address veterans returning to campus as students, Millennial students who are now coming to campus as staff members, what to do if and when H1N1 arrives on your campus, and much more. We’re particularly pleased to announce that authors in this issue include Gwendolyn Jordan Dungy (the executive director of NASPA) and Neil Howe (Millennial expert and past keynote speaker for the ACUHO-I Annual Conference & Exposition).
Stories in this most recent issue include:
- Military Matriculation: New study highlights programs and services targeted to veterans. By Gwendowlyn Jordan Dungy
- No Small Measure: College housing departments are recognizing the importance of assessment to let themselves – and the rest of their campus – know where they stand. By David A. McKelfresh and Joseph D. Levy
- They’re Back: You knew them as students. Now Millennials are coming to campus as your colleagues. By Neil Howe and Reena Nadler
- Get with the Program: Architectural programming sets the stage for thriving residence hall communities. By Frances Watson Lengowski
This issue of the magazine, along with the story on the importance of assessment, provides information about the launch of the upcoming Certificate In Housing Assessment program coming from ACUHO-I. You will be seeing a lot about this program in the coming weeks, and this article provides a solid jumping-off point for the information to come.
Remember, the digital Talking Stick is available for no additional cost to all staff at member institutions. Please forward this link on and encourage all your colleagues to go to the ACUHO-I online directory and update their profile to ensure they receive the digital Talking Stick. If you have any problems or questions, please leave them in the comment section.
