There is little question that college housing professionals like to stay connected regardless of where school or career takes them. At The Placement Exchange I witnessed so many hallway reunions.

]]> Comment on Is URoomSurf “Cutting In” on Colleges? by Steven Moseley http://blog.acuho-i.org/2010/02/is-uroomsurf-cutting-in-on-colleges/comment-page-1/#comment-1868 Steven Moseley Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:50:36 +0000 http://blog.acuho-i.org/?p=1919#comment-1868 I am a business partner of Justin Gaither, I can very assuredly state that most of what Ward and his blog-followers state is based in assumption and heresay. The facts: 1. URoomSurf DID approach several Universities with the idea. He didn't take an "adversarial" stance at all. Quite the contrary. It's the Universities that are opposed to the idea. 2. Justin Gaither is not affiliated with College Prowler, and has never been involved in that company. 3. URoomSurf is no more "cutting in" on Universities than Facebook is. URS provides a tool for incoming students that Universities lack. Universities can either find ways to use that tool to their own benefit (as they have done with Facebook) or complain about the trouble caused by their unwillingness to open their minds.

Twitter (@chadtweets) is great but with my closest colleagues - in between face to face interactions I make sure that I make the effort to pick up the phone and call. Perhaps the best tool for connecting with colleagues is getting involved in professional association and committee work. My involvement on the OACUHO board has been invaluable - it has widened and deepened my professional network. I encourage everyone to consider getting involved in ACUHO-I or your regional affiliate!

I think I got too excited about Twitter! I do think I will use this new-to-me tool to help stay in contact with those colleagues outside of the conference. However, for longer conversations or discussions, I do prefer Facebook, phone conversations and, if possible, individual connections face to face whenever I can. I know this more personal touch seems to work well for more intense and delicate conversations, and it keeps things from clogging up the email inbox! Yeah – so I realize I didn’t answer the question!

I found the experience not annoying or tedious (as I had initially feared it would be). As most assumptions do - that framework turned out to be completely false. Reading what others found to be interesting and salient from various sessions and keynotes/featured speakers enriched my learning experience and caused me to think more deeply about the issues being presented and discussed. This Gen Xer is a convert and hopes to continue to use this powerful tool for upcoming conference and learning experiences!
