KARH Annual Conference

Posted on December 24, 2016 by

karh-logo-final

The Kentucky Association of Residence Halls (KARH) will be holding its annual conference on February 10 & 11, 2017 at Bellarmine University. The purpose of KARH is to provide support and development opportunities for students who are currently involved with or have an interest in being involved with student housing on our campuses, which includes being a member of a sponsored student organization and/or as a student employee.

The annual conference serves as KARH’s marquee event for providing development and collaboration opportunities who students who may share common responsibilities, opportunities, and challenges, but otherwise may not have chance to connect with their peers and explore other ideas and opportunities. While current sponsored student organizations (RHA, NRHH, etc) serve as the direct affiliates to KARH, the conference is open to and provides opportunities for any student interested in being more engaged with student housing colleagues, including Resident Assistants, hall council members, desk clerks, etc.

KARH’s most recent newsletter, including specific information about the conference, can be found here.

Registration information can be found here.

Any student or professional interested in facilitating a session at the conference can find that information here.

More information about the conference will be made available in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, any questions about the conference or KARH in general can be directed to John Michael Haky, KARH Advisor, at karhadvisor@gmail.com.

Congratulations to Zack White of Morehead State University for being recognized as the 2016 KARH Student of the Year. The Student of the Year is award by the Kentucky Association of Housing Officers on behalf of the Kentucky Association of Residence Halls (KARH) to a student who has made outstanding contributions to their institution and the Kentucky Association of Residence Halls.

From the nomination:

Over the past year, this nominee has demonstrated an enthusiasm and passion for creating a welcoming environment for both residents and staff living on-campus at their institution. That passion has allowed him to have a significant impact on residence life and the students on the campus.

The nominee has an ability to effectively build relationships with residents and colleagues that has allowed him to excel as a Resident Advisor. The nominee’s fellow RAs recognized his ability to build an effective community and gravitated towards him as a leader among this residential area staff. In fact, his standout performance as an RA resulted in a promotion to Student Director mid-way through the last academic year. In addition, he served as his campus’ National Communications Coordinator for the newly formed Residence Hall Association before recently stepping into a Student Advisor role for the association.
