Programming is the most integral part of the entire IACURH conference. There will be six programming sessions where delegates of the conference can either host a program or attend a program put on by students of another delegation. Delegations are encouraged to split up and see as many of the programming sessions as possible, because this is the time when you get to either pass on information about things that have worked for your residence hall association (or haven’t worked), and receive new ideas to take back to you RHA assembly. After every program, you will evaluate the content and presentation of the information and the best rated programs will be subject to awards, prizes, and may get the opportunity to present again in front of a larger audience on the last day of the conference!

Everyone is encouraged to apply to put on a programming session. You do not have to do it alone; you can pair up with one or two other people from your delegation to form you presentation. Be creative, make it fun, but make it worth the participant’s time. The most highly regarded programs by both delegates and officials will be those with roots in RHA, Community, Campus Legislation, Organization, and LEADERSHIP!
