Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
Well, maybe not officially, but as we welcome students back to campus it is a new year for us. So, as
the new year begins, what will your resolutions be? On campus, for many of us, the training sessions have
ended. The halls have received their summer renovations. Students have been introduced to their new
roommate. All of our summer planning is now in action. As the dust settles, it's time to ask
yourself what your professional goals are for the upcoming year. And how will you give back
to the profession of housing and residence life?
What can you do for yourself and for your commitment as a member of the association?
First, if you haven't plotted out your competency focus for the year, start by reviewing the
ACUHO-I Body of Knowledge (available online at www.acuho-i.org/resources/core-competencies)
to identify gaps you would like to fill. Then begin to consider the virtual roundtables, webinars,
publications, or workshops and conferences that can assist in this effort.

. . . take the
next SteP
and thInk
what elSe IS
POSSIble. Our
PrOfeSSIOn IS
Only aS gOOd
aS each Of
Our memberS.

Second, if you haven't yet updated your ACUHO-I online profile, do so ASAP so you
can better network with colleagues across the globe (click the "login" button on the main
webpage to get started).
Finally, determine the best way that you can contribute and give back to the profession.
There are so many rewarding opportunities such as presenting a session at a conference,
writing a magazine or journal article, or serving on a workgroup. If you already are pursuing
one of these ideas, take the next step and think what else is possible. Our profession is only
as good as each of our members.

There are so many ways to stay engaged with ACUHO-I from social media to the weekly
Connections email newsletter (if you're not receiving this, you can update that part of your
online profile as well). Continually check in at www.acuho-i.org/blog for new entries. View
videos on the association's You Tube account, and share thoughts and comments through
our Facebook and Twitter accounts. And, like I have said before, if your institution has not
participated in a one-on-one chat with me to discuss our profession and ACUHO-I, drop me a
tweet, email, or phone call.
Let's all think through how we can make this new year in housing and residence life one that best
impacts students and colleagues alike.
Sincerely,
Tom Ellett
