Your involvement as a WACUHO Corporate Partner can give your company valuable exposure and connection with WACUHO's eighty-five college and university institutional members and nine hundred WACUHO individual members.

The Western Association of College and University Housing Officers (WACUHO) is an incorporated, nonprofit, volunteer organization, democratic in nature. Our college and university professional members work in the areas of housing, residential life, facilities, dining services, conference services and maintenance services.

Companies have expressed that becoming a WACUHO Corporate Partner has greatly benefited them. Depending on which of the three levels of membership you join, your company can receive a WACUHO Directory (listing over 900 individual members), the official WACUHO Newsletter (distributed four times a year), and your company logo printed on a variety of memorabilia items and program booklets. Some of the programs, conferences and events our Association sponsors each year include:

Northern, Central, Southern and Island RAP: A one-day drive-in workshop conference for students working in housing and residential life at our member institutions. An average of 500 students attend each of the RAPs.

Western Training Institute (WTI): A three-day institute held annually in January addressing the personal and professional needs of the members of our Association. Approximately 50 members of our Association attend this institute.
