Engage with our Community
Focused on learning, growth, and fun, our community thrives when questions are asked and experiences are shared. At eRezLife, we have a platform of services to collect information and document your processes; however, it’s our community where you can discuss, evaluate, debate, and learn from colleagues in the industry that sets us apart.
Community Building: Your Next Step
We know that community is so much more to our stakeholders than a marketing tool, and your work will showcase the value of resilient and intentional communities. Articulating this experience in a meaningful and relatable way will not only advance your own career, it will advance the respect and social capital of Student Affairs professionals everywhere.
Thank You, SEAHO!
On February 25, 2021, we sat in the SEAHO business meeting and heard Katie Lewis announce eRezLife Software as the recipient of the 2021 Corporate Partner Award. She read powerful statements from our community members who nominated us and provided our small company with recognition that holds so much meaning. For us, the award highlighted our company, but more importantly, it highlighted the value and importance of community.
2020 Reflections
To say that 2020 has been a challenging year is an understatement, and trying to predict what 2021 may hold is even more complex with the uncertainty ahead. When you can’t make an educated decision about the upcoming year, how can you create informed, SMART goals without setting yourself up for failure? It’s important to reflect on the past in order to learn and move forward in a productive way.
Are Listening and Learning Enough?
Yes, listening and learning are important and necessary steps, particularly in higher education where life-long learning is a shared value. However, focusing exclusively on listening and learning continues a problematic pattern of situating people of color as the sole guardians of race knowledge. Plus, it keeps white allies in a passive role when it comes to taking action for sustained systemic change on our campuses. So, is it enough to listen and learn?
2020 Virtual User Conference
Join us from September 30 to October 2 and learn more about eRezLife Software and our community. The conference will offer over 20 sessions that have been curated to allow you to learn from others, ask questions, and build stronger connections with other eRezLife users. Best of all – the experience is FREE for our community members. We do ask that you make a $50 contribution to a charity of your choice in lieu of your registration fee.
Adapting to the New Normal
There is a new normal out there, and it’s a difficult one for the industry we work in. As an essential service, many housing and residence life operations are balancing the expectation to stay home with the expectation to care for their students who remain in residence and those that continue to require support from afar. On top of that, you’re adapting to different expectations at your institution and different expectations at home, potentially feeling isolated and exhausted. We need to adapt.
