Lock Haven University was honored to host the national CAACURH (Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls) No Frills Conference during the weekend of Feb. 5.
Having brought over 130 delegates from 28 universities, LHU's Residence Hall Association organized a two-day leadership conference.
Under the leadership of co-chairs Chris Tague and Stacy Bowman, people from Delaware, Washington D.C., Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania gathered at the Haven.
According to the CAACURH Web site at www.nacurh.org, "CAACURH is a student-run organization whose members' purpose is to provide communication, education, and leadership development opportunities for student leaders in residence hall systems across the region."
After finding out the bid to host the conference was accepted at the 2008 Mini No Frills at NJIT (New Jersey Science and Technology University), LHU's Residence Hall Association began working on this conference last year.
After all was said and done, many members from RHA felt a sigh of relief for hosting such a successful conference.
"I always dreamed about Lock Haven hosting a conference, and my dream came true," said Tague.
Along with Bowman and Tague, there were chairs of each committee including Ashley Griffis, Terrance Green, Sythia McLaughlin, Megan Grzybowski, Kate Chorney, Amanda Mitchell and Cameron Dick.
Keynote speaker, Dr. Linda Koch, provided motivation to those who attended to strive to make a difference on their campus.
Included in this conference were many meetings and workshops.
Also, regional awards were given out.
"Our RHA was very committed and connected and they did an outstanding job. It was awesome," said Wendy Walsh, one of the advisers for CAACURH.
Lock Haven University students did a spectacular job hosting this conference and hope to do so again in the future.
