The Western Association of College and University Housing Officers (WACUHO) invites you to become a WACUHO Corporate Partner. WACUHO is an incorporated, nonprofit, volunteer organization, and 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.

About the corporate partners program

The Corporate Partners Program is an integral part of the WACUHO organization and helps us better serve the needs of the collegiate housing profession. Your partnership with WACUHO supports our Association’s continuing efforts to produce quality educational and training programs to benefit the growing network of collegiate housing professionals. Your sponsorship also helps us provide incentives and scholarships for our members to further their careers and recognize them for their outstanding achievements. In addition, your investment supports our nearly 30 committees which focus on the needs and issues facing today’s collegiate housing professionals.

What your corporate partnership means to wacuho

Because of your generous support, WACUHO is able to sponsor the following programs, conferences, and events each year:

WACUHO Annual Conference & Exposition (WACE): Over 250 members and about 50 exhibits attend our annual conference to attend professional development workshops and discover new products and services in the exhibits area.

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.
