Roompact is proud to sponsor the tenth anniversary of ACPA’s Residential Curriculum Institute. Offered annually to educators and professionals in residence life and education, the Institute is a three day series of sequential workshops and sessions that teach participants how to implement a curricular approach to education in the residence halls.
As provider of software that enables colleges and universities to implement and track a residential curriculum, Roompact is on the ground in Tampa this week. In case you missed it, we’ll be recapping each day of the institute:
- Day 1 RCI Recap
- Day 2 RCI Recap
- Day 3 RCI Recap (current)
DAY THREE
As you get ready to leave RCI make a plan for how you will advance your curriculum. You aren't alone! RCI faculty are a resource!#ACPARCI
