SUNY Cortland had an amazing time at CAMP NACURH. The twelve
of us; Lauren , Jilly, Kyle, James, Rob, Mike, Alycia, Heather, Lauren,
Sara, Janelle and Amber, could not have enjoyed ourselves any
better. At Cortland, we have taken the great idea of conference
buddies and made our own. While sharing what we got our
buddies, one of our delegates turned everything into spirit ___including 5 hour energy which became Cortlands SPIRIT
DRANKKK!
We then started and sadly ended our adventure with Bros
Bagels in Detroits airport. Our bros adventure and delegation
buddy experience kicked off fun catch-phrases such as spirit
dranks, spirit bombs and saying bro after everything.
SUNY Cortland had an amazing NACURH, and we cant wait to see
you all at SUBS and CONFERENCES! Moose Love

NACURH was honestly the point at which I fully
realized just how important RHA was. Seeing all of
those schools and regions cheering together for no
reason other than to express their pride in what they
do left me excited to see just how far I could go withRHA and hall councils in the coming school year.
Wonderful experience and I highly suggest everyone
try it out
Gregg Clunis, Vice President
As the new NCC for the 2011-2012 school year,
NACURH 2011 was my first conference and I couldn't
be more happier with the experience. Making new
friends, increasing my knowledge about RHA, Camp
NACURH was a true privilege to attend. I hope to
take back my new friendships and skills to Pace
university RHA and make even better difference in
the NEACURH region.

Presidents Corner
By Sheraz Iqbal, RCC-SP
Its mid-summer and hopefully most of you are havi
fun, relaxing, and/or well paying summers. By now y
are all either in the process of or fully transitioned in
your position as President. I just wanted to introduc
myself and let you all get to know me since I am you
Regional Communications Coordinator of Special
Projects. Basically I will be running Presidents
Boardroom at conferences and meetings along with
being a resource and working with you during the y

undergrad at Ithaca. I started out as a Voting and
Committee member my freshman year, then as the
National Communications Coordinator my sophomo
year, then as the President my junior year, and am n
on the NEACURH Regional Board of Directors this ye
Some of my other experiences include being an RA ftwo years, an Orientation Leader, a summer college
and a Diversity Peer Educator on my campus. My pa
is change for the better, which is why RHA, NEACUR
and NACURH have been such an amazing experienc
me. Through NEACURH and NACURH, I had the
opportunity to learn more about other schools,
programs, and initiatives. This year, one of my goals
have you all exchange ideas with each other on how
can make your organizations the best they can be (i
training, running meetings, recruitment & retentionetc)! I want to congratulate you all because you hav
taken on the initiative to better improve the residen
experience for college students on your campus.
Remember, R-O-C-K, YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK!!! I kno

Since you last saw Pace University RHA, we have taken
the knowledge learned at NACURH 2011 and spread it
with the rest of the E-Board. Something the delegation
created at Western Illinois University called " Moose
Swag" has been a hit for the Pace University RHA has
been a staple within our team and promotion for our
new members. RHA E-Board has been attending all
freshmen and Transfer orientations to increase our
members. New plans are being processed for our
Welcome Wagon and the Rebuilding of our Hall Councils.
Pace University RHA is making great strides this summer!

As I sit at home during my summer vacation,
enjoying the sun (when the rain stops), taking time to n
think about school and reflecting back on the past year, I cant h
but think about all of the amazing connections that I have madethrough NEACURH, ones that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I
know that I am not alone when I say that NEACURH has been one of the best so
resources for me over the past three years. As I think about this, something comes to me, it has been a
month and a half since I ended school, and I havent really talked to many of my moose loving friends, at
least not as much as I do during school.
We all stay in contact during the week after conferences but once that week is up, we all slowly become sucked
into the routines of our own campuses and sadly, some of us seem to loose that NEACURH connection we have during
conferences. If you are feeling the need to snap to this right now, and want to do something about it, here is my top ten
on how to stay in touch with your NEACURH friends outside of conference.
Dont feel like youre bugging people:
The worst feeling is the one that you are constantly bugging someone trying to get in touch with themtruth is, youre not. Think ab
how much you would love to hear from someone around the region, give this feeling to someone else and you shall receive it in retu
Poke Someone!
Facebook is amazing, friend everyone, chat with everyone and send the occasional poke to someone (itll make there day)
Share your digits at conference:
Have a good friend within NEACURH? Get their phone number at conference and stay in touch via texting or weekly phone chats.
Ask your regional friends for help on a campus initiative:
If you are planning to do something great on your campus, dont hesitate to reach out to the region for help, it helps to connect scho
other great ways!
Take a road trip:
I was talking to my good friend David from Rhode Island College recently and we brought up that we go to school 30min away from e
other and have never gotten together, CRAZY! Make some time to go visit your NEACURH family.
Apply for a regionally committee:
Committees will help you keep in touch with regional and national students and will allow you to share your own ideas with more th
your own campus.
#Social networking is your friend:
Tweet, poke, friend, post, do whatever it takes to utilize all of the social media tools in order to stay in touch. Chances are, most peo
either have a twitter account, facebook, or maybe even a myspace.
Take some time to share some Moose Love:
Take some time out of your busy schedule during the summer and also the school year to see what others are doing around the regi
short text or IM wishing someone good luck on a program will mean more to them then youll know.
Make a play date!:
Schedule a time to get together with a friend and not talk about school or NEACURH. Do something fun with another NEACURH moo
lover without discussing business, programs or conferences and you will find that your bond will grow greatly.
Did I mention starting a poke war?:
As your New England RCC, I am unofficially suggesting that we start the biggest NE to NY poke war on facebook. Poke a friend in the
sub region to get this started.

Oh the Places Youll Go
Serving as ANCC this past year has given me some of the
best experiences of my life. I have attended four conferences now
and have learned all about what it truly means to love Marty the
Moose. Along with moose loving I have also learned all the joys of
iding the pony, cheering till you lose your voice, and being a part
of such an amazing organization. An organization whose mainpurpose is enhancing life within residence halls across campuses,
egions, and even countries!
When I was elected NCC I was ecstatic! Not only would I be
a part of each delegation, I would be leading the pack. Watching
both new and returning delegates experiences all the amazing
opportunities that NEACURH has to offer. I was also a little
nervous. Sure riding that pony, cheering, and meeting new people
are super important, but I am now going to be sitting
n.BOARDROOM! Something I had not done until attending
corporate at Nationals. With the outgoing NCC by my side for the
whole thing, I knew I shouldnt be super nervous. When I was done
t wasnt bad at all, and I knew I would be prepared for future
boardrooms. (once I touch up on my Roberts Rules of course!)
So although, there are many things I will learn along the
way, I am both ready and
excited for whatever path NCC
akes me on. With a wonderful
esource like the region how
could I not be?!? In the fall I
cant wait to start preparing my
irst delegation! Seeing thesame gleam in their eyes that I
still have in mine, is one of
he things I love most about
conferences. So NEACURH Ill
see you at Regionals, and until
hen Ill just keep wishing I was
already there!!

Theres A First Time for Everything
Ever since my freshman year at Salem State Univer
have been involved with Residence Hall Associatio
Community Council in some way. Last year (my ju
year) I made the difficult decision of whether to ap
be a Resident Assistant or to run for an Executive B
Position for RHA since you are not permitted to do
at SSU. Long story short, I chose to be an RA. This
meant that my direct involvement with RHA and
Community Council was over. However, I chose to

Council in order to get my RHA fix and stay in the lo
The light at the end of the tunnel is that RAs are a
to attend conferences on the National level, which
exactly what I did. I was destined to attend NACUR
Western Illinois University. I loved being a delegat
past year and wanted nothing more than a week lo
meet and greet filled with programming and cheer
When I found out that I got selected as NRHH
representative instead, I was a little disappointed
because all I could think of was how much others h
complained about boardrooms.
My experience ended up being quite differ
Before going in I had been briefed on boardroom
procedure, Bobs rules, and anything else that I mahave needed to know. I was told to bring plenty o
munchies and be prepared to be bored and falling
(no offense to the RBD). I was pleasantly surprised
I instantly made friends, bonded with my NCC, pas
notes (not during official business of course) and fo
myself asking questions. I was excited to go back t
boardroom session after boardroom session, vote

I enjoyed the feeling of being a part of something m
bigger than myself, much bigger than my delegatioeven much bigger than my RHA. I felt as if my voic

The lesson here is that even though board
does tend to be mostly business there is always ro
enjoyment, bonding, and of course learning. Tak

you find yourself dreading the boardroom or fallin

Little Ways to Make a Big Impact by Recognizing
By: Danielle Sutton, AD NRHH
Recognition is an important component of what NEACURH is all about, but when many people think of recognition
they think of big awards and pricey ways to thank people for their hard work. This does NOT have to be the
case! Just take out some supplies and put your arts and crafts thinking hats on. Here are fifteen simple things that
you can do that will make a big impact because of the time and effort you put into personalizing the way you
recognize of others. Please note that these are a mix of personal ideas passed down to me and selected ideas from
the ABC's of NRHH Guide which can be found atnrhh.organd clicking on resources.
1. You Rock Rocks - Who wouldn't love a rock that says "You Rock" on it? All you need to do is grab some
rocks, clean them off, and puffy paint them away :-)
2. Running a Great Program - All you need is to trace a shoe or print out a clip art shoe, color it in, and write o
the back something along the lines of "Thank you for Running a Great Program"
3. Shining Stars - This doesn't need to end at conferences and everyone wants to be a star. All you need to do
is cut out a star, decorate it a little and tell them that thy shine
4. Paperclips - Make a giant paperclip or chain a bunch together to recognize someone who "holds the team
together"
5. Liter (Leader) of the Week - All you need to do is buy a liter of pop (soda), take off the label, flip it over to
redecorate it and put it back on to recognize someone who was the "liter (leader) of the week"6. A New Car - While we would love to be able to buy someone a new car, you can express your gratitude by
decorating a paper car or buying a little matchbox car and awarding it to someone who has been awesome!
7. Light bulbs - Cut out some paper light bulbs and hand it out to people who have bright ideas
8. Fan - Create a paper fan, decorate it and give it to some who has done a "fan"tastic job
9. Goal-dfish - Goal setting is something we always do and might not always get recognized for achieving so
hand out some "Goal-dfish" to recognize those who achieve their goals
10. Hangers - Being a student leader is never easy and we are bound to go through rough times. A nice way to
recognize someone going through a rough time is to make or buy a hanger and hand it out for "hanging in
there"
11. Hugs - Sometimes we just need a hug, so why not give them out so people can get a hug 24 hours a day. Al
you have to do is string two paper hands together and hug away!12. Outlets - There's always that one person who you can vent to and bounce ideas off of, so why not recognize
them? All you need to do is cut out a paper outlet and thank someone for being your "outlet"
13. Raisin the Standards - Do you ever have those people who always go above and beyond? Raisins are a great
snack that doubles as recognition for those who are "raisin the standards"
14. 100 Grand - While an actual 100 Grand would be awesome to give someone, its just not possible as college
students so lets give someone spectacular the second best thing, candy :-)
15. Notes - Everyone loves hand written thank you notes and all you need is some paper and a writing utensil to
show how much someone means to you and your group

NEACUHO 2011: Building Our Legacy
By Lauren Mountain
This past June, I attended the NEACUHO Annual Conference as thNEACURH Award recipient. This award is meant to recognize stud
who have been involved on their campus and within NEACURH, an
an interest in entering the field. This opportunity was extremely
beneficial and one that I will not soon forget. I was able to meet w
professionals, hear their stories, and learn from them. I am so gra
have had this opportunity and represent the strong student leade
this organization has.
As I was participating in the conference experience, the theme b
our legacy truly stood out to me. My legacy is one that is still undconstruction, much like yours. When I was a second year student,
involved with RHA, later became a Resident Assistant, served on t
Regional Board, and served on an NRHH executive board. All of th
experiences have helped shape me, and help to form the foundat
my legacy. Remember that all of the experiences you collect, all of
hard work and dedication are building the foundation for your leg
As we build our own legacy, we are also building upon the strong
legacy of this region, and NACURH. It is YOU, the students within
NEACURH who truly build this regions legacy, and all that it stand
Remember that YOU are enhancing the history and legacy of this
organization, and it is your passion
that will allow this organization to
continue to grow and prosper.
Our experience as students leaders
within NEACURH will become a large
part of the foundation that of our own
legacy. It is because of these
memories, these friends, and these
moments that we will all have strong
future legacies, no matter what our
career path maybe.

RIDE THE PONY!
After we finished a lot of business, we had some free time
go to an authentic Italian restaurant, where Kevin, Alysha, Julie and
myself, all got matching gnocchi and Tricia still wanted to order chicken
fingers. We bonded over great food and were intrigued by this surprised th
associate directors and Mary had in store for us.
This is when we arrived at Niagara Falls. Thats right, we were scoping out Canada for when John fin
gets them to conform to the moose-loving world of NEACURH. For most of us, it was our first time seeing the falls, and we
made it a NEACURH adventure. We went on the Cave of the Winds tour, which is the walking tour of the American Falls. We
took pictures, showed lots of #swag in yellow ponchos and rode the pony on the Hurricane Deck. Lets get real NEACURH, w
represent all day, erryday.
This adventure sadly came to a close with ice cream, mind riddles and brunch at Marys favorite diner. We can all honestly s
we built life long friendships and an amazing bond to help serve your school and this region.
For me personally, MartyBash has had me so excited to see the AMAZING things to come for this region, your schools and m
importantly, you as individuals. Our board cant wait to see you all at Subs, Regionals, Minis and NACURH.
NEACURH You Rock, DONT EVER CHANGE!
