Member Grants
The aim of these grants is to promote the benefits of collegiate residences in and associated with Australian universities. They seek to foster living and learning environments that support the professional growth and development of collegiate community leaders and, in turn, enhance the student experience. Better leaders, better collegiate life!
Chapter Visits
Chapter visits provide a valuable opportunity to support members and foster close relations between university colleges. In addition to meeting with College Heads, these visits also provide members of the Executive with the opportunity to meet members of the Senior Executive of the universities and to promote the value of colleges and halls to the educational outcomes and experiences of university students.
Partnerships
Partnerships with related professional membership associations provide members with opportunities to attend high calibre international conferences such as the ACUHO-i conference in Rhode Island. Read Dave Segal's conference report and presentation here.
