Regional Involvement
Texas A&M University is affiliated on the regional level to the Southwestern Affiliate of College and University Residence Hall Association (SWACURH). TAMU RHA attends two annual regional conferences: the SWACURH Conference which is held in November, and the No-Frills Business Conference traditionally held in the Spring.
What is SWACURH?
SWACURH is the Southwest Affiliate of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Inc. (NACURH). There are eight regions within NACURH across North America and abroad. More information is available about the regions and the NACURH.
SWACURH is a student run organization whose purpose is to provide leadership development opportunities for student leaders and advisors in residence hall systems in the southwest region of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Schools throughout SWACURH and NACURH unite together to share ideas, traits, programming ideas, and leadership tactics with one another which we are then able to implement in our residence halls, lives, and organizations.
SWACURH delegates attend three conferences per year, SWACURH Regional Conference, No-Frills, and NACURH (National Conference). The SWACURH regional conference is held at a host school once a year in the fall and is usually attended by each school's NCC (National Communications Coordinator) as well as student and hall leaders, who serve as delegates to the conference. The No-Frills conference is held in January or February each year and serves as a business meeting for member schools. The NACURH conference, held yearly in May or June serves as a gathering and business meeting that is open to all member schools of NACURH.
The SWACURH 2007 Regional Conference was held on November 8-11, 2007 at Centenary College of Louisiana. The Texas A&M University delegation picked up several awards including the most spirited individual, RA of the year, and two top 10 programs.
