Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls Regional Leadership Conference

Hello IUP Student Leaders!

Conference Opportunity

In years past, IUP has participated in the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (CAACURH) Regional Leadership Conference, also referred to as RLC. Normally, these conferences are limited to how many delegates we can bring to the different host sites that change each year. However, this year the conference experience is becoming completely digital, allowing for an unlimited amount of IUP student leaders to participate! RLC is an interactive leadership and personal development conference where you have the opportunity to meet and interact with student leaders like yourself who are leaders within the residence halls and on campus. The attendees will range from RHA members, Resident Assistants, NRHH members, and advisors who come from different colleges and universities located in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, West Virgina, New Jersey, and Washington D.C.
