The Office of Residence Life at Heidelberg University is excited to host the Ohio Housing Officers Fall 2024 Business Meeting on Friday, November 22, 2024.
The Ohio Housing Officers Conference (OHO) is held by the Great Lakes Association of College and Housing University Housing Officers (GLACUHO) which is a regional affiliate underneath the Association of College and University Housing Officers – International (ACUHO-I) which serves to advance the practices and address the concerns of housing professionals in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
GLACUHO was the last regional affiliate to be formed, with its first conference being held in 1973 at Kent State University, though at the time it was known as the Great Lakes Region Housing Officers (GLRHO). This meeting provided a venue for the exchange of ideas between those who had previously been able to attend ACUHO-I as well as those who had not. The year 1983 saw the association grew closer to its modern iteration due to changes voted upon which shifted the time of the yearly meeting and which shifted the Vice President Position to President-Elect.
With a rich history of allowing housing professionals to take on new perspectives, the 2024 OHO Conference will continue this legacy through offering the same opportunity to schools and Housing Professionals throughout Ohio. Heidelberg University is excited to host this opportunity and welcome our colleagues from across the great state of Ohio to join us on November 22nd for the Fall 2024 OHO Business Meeting.
