Journal Receives 2009 SNAP Award The Journal of College and University Student Housing received a GOLD award in the “Scholarly Journals-Most Improved” category for the Society of National Association Publications’ (SNAP) 29th Annual EXCEL Awards, recognizing the best and the brightest in association media and publishing. The Journal was selected from nearly 1,000 entries for the honor. In 2008 the Journal saw a redesign featuring a new look to bring it in line with other ACUHO-I materials, while maintaining its focus on information and resourceful peer-reviewed articles. The Journal will be featured in the July/August issue of SNAP’s Association Publishing. The Conversation Continues In recent months, the next stage of the ACUHO-I 21st Century Project began as three campuses conducted “mini-summits” that potentially will lead to the construction of 21st Century Project-inspired residence halls. Representatives from Colorado College (pictured), Baylor University, and Indiana University gathered along with members of the 21st Century Project steering committee as well as facilitators from the Millennia Consulting firm to discuss what the future of college and university housing could look like on their campuses. ACUHO-I will continue to report on their progress through the Talking Stick, news blog, and other outlets. Does tHe Talking STick reaCH enougH oF Your staFF?
