The Intermountain Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls 2014 conference will be held at the University of Idaho over the weekend. An expected 325 delegates and advisers from 31 universities in eight states are anticipated to participate.
The conference brings residence programs together to collaborate and interact. This year, the conference will focus on diversity and inclusivity of campus cultures and programs. The conference will feature 70 programming sessions on the Moscow campus and nearby Best Western University Inn.
Although the conference is a closed event, UI will bring 23 students as delegates and two advisors to the event.
Envision Idaho
The University of Idaho Office of Admissions will host the annual Envision Idaho recruitment event Saturday on the Moscow campus.
The event seeks to recruit high school seniors and transfer students interested in attending UI, and invites the students and their parents to come to the Moscow campus to learn more about the academic and student affairs programs offered. While Vandal Friday events are for students who are planning to attend UI in the following fall, Envision Idaho gives those merely interested in enrolling at UI a chance to learn more.
The program begins at 10 a.m. with an official welcome in the SUB Ballroom, and tours directed towards a specific area of study start at 10:30 a.m.
