NACURH 2013 CONFERENCE APPLICATION
Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the UNC-CH delegation at the National
Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH)! Please fill out this
application COMPLETELY and turn it in by 11:59pm on Sunday March 24, 2013. Delegates
will be notified by Thursday night.
NACURH is the largest student-run company in the world that attempts to improve communities
within college residence halls by providing network opportunities through conferences and other
resources designed to help schools improve their residence hall organizations. It’s a wonderful
opportunity to learn more about RHA, how the larger organization works, and how it all benefits
the RHA, NRHH (National Residence Hall Honorary), and our residents living on campus here
at UNC.
Delegates’ duties include: Attending all delegate meetings; preparing programs to be presented
to other schools; creating a banner and display; assisting with fundraisers that go toward the
conference; creating a roll call video; and keeping a positive attitude!
All delegates will be responsible for presenting a program at the conference, either individually
or with partners. A program is a presentation about a topic that will give other delegates from
other universities knowledge about how to better serve their residents. Programs can be about
becoming a better leader, how to deal with cultural diversity, how to create a successful
fundraising event, etc. They can be as original, creative, and fun as you want them to be. The
main idea is to explain something that the other delegates can take back to their schools and use
to better the lives of their residents. If you have any confusion about this, please do not hesitate
to email Austin Glock Andrews!
This conference is from Friday, May 31 through Monday, June 3, 2013 at the University of
Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Please consider this and any conflicts you may have
with these dates before applying!
Email your completed application and any questions to the RHA National Communications
Coordinator-IT, AUSTIN GLOCK ANDREWS, at [email protected] by 11:59pm on
