Conference Conversations
Whether you are able to attend an ACUHO-I event in person or not, you can still skim plenty of information by following the conversation from afar via Twitter. More and more people are using the popular social media tool to broadcast the backchannel conversations, insights, stories, and resources, and anyone is welcome to follow along. The secret code for following along is the hashtag. This is any word or words preceded by a #. So that means once you sign up with a Twitter account and search for #ACUHOI you will ﬁnd all posts related to the association. This practice, along with following the association’s Twitter feed from @ACUHOI, will connect you to an untold number of other campus housing and student affairs professionals, allowing you to expand your professional contacts. The hashtag is even being seen during ACUHO-I webinars and virtual roundtable presentations. So while information is being broadcast to desktop computers, a parallel conversation is happening in the Twitterverse. Join the Twitter ﬂock. Find more information and catch a glimpse of the information at www.twitter.com/acuhoi.
