The Central and Southern Student Leadership Drive-in are annual Resident Advisor (RA) and Student Leaders day-long conferences for the central and southern part of the Western Association of Colleges and Universities (WACUHO) region. It is hosted by a college or university within the Central and Southern region of California. The conference serves to bring together Resident Advisors and other Student Leaders of varying Housing and/or Residential Life Departments from colleges and universities located in their particular region to learn, network, and develop their skills as student leaders at their individual institutions. For the 2023 conference Central and Southern are combining! 

 

This goal is accomplished through:

​

• The sharing of ideas and practices within programs that attendees create and present to their peers (if they so choose) in attendance;

​

• Allowing for individuals to get a sense of how their counterparts work at other schools and possibly bring back new ideas to try at their institution; and

​

• The opportunity to build friendships that extend beyond just the conference.

​

The conference also allows for delegations to rep their school pride by participating in fun, spirited (and maybe slightly competitive) on-site events to take home the pride of being called the most spirited school delegation, and the honor of being gifted the WACUHO spirit stick.
