2018 NACURH National Conference Trip

On May 25th, 2018, a delegation of 10 people from Kent State traveled to Tempe, Arizona for the NACURH National Conference!  NACURH is the National Association of College and University Residence Halls.  Kent State University is housed within the Central Atlantic Affiliate of NACURH (CAACURH).  Arizona State University welcomed us with open arms and put together a phenomenal experience for everyone!  Huge thank you to the Department of Residence Services for supporting our delegation and for cheering us on as we represented Kent State.  Much love to KIC and NRHH for being exemplary leaders and for putting KSU on the map.  Special recognition goes to Emily Murasso, Paige Hlad, and George Papp-McClellan for representing us on the regional and national stage!
