Residence Hall Association Students Earn National Award
University of Northern Colorado's Housing & Residence Life has been named the sole recipient of the Commitment to Diversity Award by the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, an organization of more than 400 institutions from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia.
The award, presented at the organization's national conference May 16-18 at Oklahoma State University, recognizes UNC's student-directed diversity awareness and education programming and the university's commitment to diversity. Finalists for the award were the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Seattle University, St. John Fisher College, University of North Texas, University of Florida, University of Akron and Creighton University.
A group of UNC Residence Hall Association students, led by senior Sara Valencich, prepared the 40-page report that advanced to the national conference after being selected as the top project at the regional conference earlier this spring. The report documents 2007-08 university diversity initiatives and highlights yearlong academic and event programming offered by campus groups and individuals including Student Activities, Housing and Residence Life, the cultural centers and faculty and staff. Letters of support in the document included a commendation from Gov. Bill Ritter. Click here to view the Commitment to Diversity bid.
