LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
The Journal Board is proud to bring you the Spring 2023 issue of The Journal of College
and University Student Housing. While this was not a special theme issue, a theme
emerged nonetheless-all the articles focus on outcomes and supports for diverse populations
of students. We also have two manuscripts in this issue that received support from
ACUHO-I: one (Volk et al.) was supported by an ACUHO-I Foundation grant, and the
other (Taub et al.) was endorsed by ACUHO-I's Research Committee.
Each manuscript in this issue ends by outlining important implications for research
and practice in our field; as always, we encourage you to read and reflect on the
contents of this volume as we all process student needs and trends in housing accommodations.
Think about the contents, share the information with others, and see where
the conversation leads.
Deborah J. Taub, R. Bradley Johnson, Renae Barber, and Mack Ottens start off this
issue with a follow-up on a study published by Taub and colleagues in 2016 about implementing
gender-inclusive housing, which included consideration of how many campuses
offer GIH, the locations and types of institutions offering this option, the types of
housing facilities being used, barriers campuses have encountered, and GIH policies
that have been developed. The second article, authored by Charlie Potts, explores the
experiences of 28 second- and third-year undergraduate men living in on-campus housing
to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected masculinity (generally in
positive ways) and the socialization of college men. The findings of this study provide important
insights into how the pandemic has served as a catalyst for evolving definitions of
masculinity and gender expectations in residential settings on campus. Next, Fred Volk,
Joshua Travis Brown, Daniel J. Gibson, and Joseph M. Kush add to the body of research
by examining the role of residence hall architecture, roommate similarity, and academic
performance in room change requests. The results of their study indicate that residence
hall architecture has important effects on students' college experience, which can influence
the development of social networks and form the context through which personal
characteristics and roommate differences affect interpersonal interactions. The fourth
manuscript was authored by Erik M. Hines, James L. Moore, III, Dakota W. Cintron,
Paul Singleton, II, Monique Golden, Edward C. Fletcher, Jr., Jerrod A. Henderson, Tyron
Slack, W. Corey Moore, David Ouimette, Michael Reid, Jr., and Donna Y. Ford. This
