In Spring 2026, Aaron Hood and Daniel Satterthwaite facilitated Mapping our Way, a four session workshop that explored one of the Division of Student Affairs commitments from the Strategic Plan, We Invest In Our People. The goal was to establish some shared language and framework for training and professional development based on the ACUHO-I professional competencies and to create a reflective tool that staff could use to plan their professional development.
The group who attended Mapping Our Way read through and commented on the ACUHO-I professional competencies. Aaron and Daniel took those comments and edited the almost 1000 competencies to a list of 100 that span many of the responsibilities of our Resident Life staff. These competencies are considered a living document and should be revisited every few years.
The Professional Development Blueprint document was the second part of the workshop series and reviewed by the group in the final meeting.
How to Use
How to Use
The Professional Development Blueprint was created with a focus on flexibility. It can be used individually, with your supervisor, with a group, a mentor, or however works best for you. The document encourages you to reflect on yourself, your job, your competencies, the resources you have available to you, and creating a plan.
You can also use our version of the ACUHO-I competencies to consider where you want to develop, or dive into the full document to consider other career paths in Housing & Resident Life
