See the Shows
We anticipate packed houses for exciting “performances” (aka educational programming) in the following 4 categories:
Personal Development – Emphasizing life skills that foster success in the residence life world and beyond, these sessions will help participants expand personal skills and knowledge in areas such as time management, stress reduction, and communication.
Professional Development – Emphasizing practical skills and knowledge that our hall staffs and hall governments use in their daily work, these sessions will teach participants more about topics like conflict management, diversity, and marketing.
Program Development – Emphasizing “best practices” from our residence halls across the state, these sessions will highlight effective and impactful programs that could be used at other campuses.
Adviser Development – Emphasizing skills and knowledge that are useful and valuable to professional staff members, these sessions will allow advisers to network, discuss best practices and continue learning.

Be a High Roller
Stack up your spirit points like poker chips!
We will be hosting three specific Spirit Challenges during the weekend:
Best Display Best Banner Best Roll Call
Additional spirit points will be awarded throughout the weekend for delegates’ enthusiasm, creativity, conference participation and philanthropy support. The delegation with the highest accumulation of spirit points will receive the High Roller award.
Philanthropic Information
Our philanthropy for KARH 2013 will be the New Opportunity School for Women, a local program that places an emphasis on providing better educational and employment opportunities for women in Appalachia.
Delegations will be able to support the philanthropy through donations of office supplies, kitchen supplies, stationery, toiletries, professional clothing, and bed & bath linens. Monetary donations will also be accepted.

Picking Your Travel Companions
Our goal is to have strong representation from both the hall staff perspective (i.e. RA’s) and the hall government perspective (i.e. RHA) from across the state! We invite each school to bring up to 12 student delegates and 2 advisers; and strongly encourage each school to assemble a delegation with a well-balanced ratio of hall staff and hall government representatives.
We will also have a waiting list to accommodate additional delegates and advisers as space allows.
