The Host Experience
Members share the joys of hosting students from the ACUHO-I
Housing Internship Program and the insights gained from them.
Participating in this conversation are Dee Dee Kanikkeberg, director of university
housing at the University of Idaho in Moscow; Megan Stang, executive director of
university housing services at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona;
Donna P. McGalliard, dean of residence life and housing at Wake Forest University
in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; and Corey Ray, associate director of housing at the
University of Idaho.

Dee Dee Kanikkeberg: The University of
Idaho has been involved in hosting for a few
years. We have hosted interns who worked
jointly with residence life and conference
services. In the most recent past, we have
hosted a graduate-level intern who focused
solely on conference services. This summer
we are excited to have an intern who will be
focusing on marketing and communications.
We have certainly learned a lot each time we
have hosted an intern, which has allowed us
to modify what we look for in candidates as
well as what we need to do as a department to
improve the experience for the interns.

One specific takeaway we learned from
our intern last summer was the importance
of having the intern be on site prior to the
arrival of our conference coordinators. Our
intern served as the supervisor to this team
and found it difficult to be trained alongside
the team that she was in charge of supervising.
We were unable to make this type of timeline
work currently at our institution and therefore
made the decision to not have an intern in
conferences this summer. We chose to provide
an opportunity to another unit within housing
to host an intern instead.

Megan Stang: Most of our residence life
staff are on 10-month contracts and do not
stay for the summer months and summer
employment. As is probably the case with
many housing programs, this is the time of
year we do a lot of planning and training. There
never seems to be enough time and hands to
get everything done. We have used interns
in the past and plan to again this summer,
to assist in developing our paraprofessional
training schedule and our four-day residential
orientation program prior to school opening
(Welcome Week) and to prepare for the fall
opening. The energy and insight interns bring
from their home institutions have been very
valuable and helped us greatly.
Donna McGalliard: At Wake Forest, we
have had great success using interns in our
residence life and residence education areas.
This summer, we are trying something new
- we are bringing in an intern to assist in our
facilities and housing area of the office. We
are excited to see what innovative and creative
thinking the intern brings with them to
processes that, while good, could be improved
with a fresh perspective. Additionally, the
intern will be assisting in the redesign of our
