91成人导航 earns four top honors at college housing conference
Students and staff were honored for their philanthropy, inclusive programming and school spirit.
91成人导航 students and staff who work in Residential Life and Housing received four major awards at a conference held recently at University of California, Davis.
The Western Association of College and University Housing Officers hosted the conference, which provided students with professional development, program ideas and supported their growth as leaders.
鈥淚t was great to see the pride that students showed for 91成人导航,鈥� said Yna Gonzales 鈥�26, a Pharmacy student and lead resident assistant. I believe we will be able to take many things we learned and apply them to our work and studies at 91成人导航.鈥�
91成人导航鈥檚 honors were:
Philanthropy Award: The honor went to the university that donated the most items for a philanthropy project. 91成人导航 donated 88 feminine hygiene kits, three times more than any other school.
Top-Three Program Award: Addison Bedford, a staff area coordinator, won for a program entitled 鈥淚nclusion of People with Disabilities in On-Campus Events.鈥�
Spirit Points Award: This was awarded to the school with the most spirit points through school spirit, costumes, banner creation and participation in the philanthropy project.
Spirit Award: 91成人导航 won this award in a vote by all schools. The Spirit Award is considered the conference鈥檚 highest honor.
鈥淲e got to bring the Spirit Stick back home to Stockton for the next year,鈥� Gonzales said. 鈥淭hat was fun and rewarding to have students from other schools vote for us.鈥�
Fourteen schools, mostly from Northern California, attended and 45 of the 168 students in attendance were from 91成人导航.
鈥淭he purpose of the conference is to share experiences and learn from one another, and I definitely feel we accomplished that,鈥� said Josh O鈥機onnor, assistant vice president for student life. 鈥淲e also are proud to receive the awards. It says a lot about our students.鈥�
Luis Becerril Suarez, an area coordinator with Residential Life and Housing, said this was one of the first major student conferences since the COVID pandemic.
鈥淚t was a big deal to have that experience back again,鈥� said Suarez, who helped organize the conference. 鈥淭here are not a lot of student leadership conferences, so this was a great opportunity to network for student leaders and staff.鈥�
