Mid-Atlantic Association of College and University Housing Officers

Committees: Diversity

The mission of the MACUHO Diversity Committee is to provide professionals and institutions within the region access to resources that help to promote the basic rights of humankind. Through the strategies of awareness, education, programming and assessment, we strive to validate an increasingly diverse campus community, thereby enhancing lifelong learning experiences. We take aim to educate, engage and challenge ourselves, our colleagues and our students to move from tolerance to acceptance, to celebration of cultural and individual differences and similarities.

Our Current Projects

The Diversity Committee is currently working on several projects for the benefit of MACUHO and its membership.

1) Implementing a "Diversity Track" component to enhance programming efforts for the Annual Conference

2) Updating materials related to Gender Neutral Restrooms at the Annual Conference

3) Weekly blogging on the MACUHO website by members of the Diversity Committee

4) Reassessing our Commitment to Social Justice Award to extend not only to Professional Staff Members, but to the Student Staff Live-in Conference as well!

5) Planning the Common Ground Room and Common Read for the Annual Conference

6) Encouraging our membership to provide suggestions for the committee and to the association related to Diversity and Social Justice initiatives.
