MUW residence life staff recognized at conferenceCOLUMBUS, Miss.
—Mississippi University for Women residence life Director Telisa
Young and Assistant Director Cedrick Gathings were recognized at the
Mississippi Association of Housing Officers (MAHO) conference. It
was held on Nov. 12 at The University of Southern Mississippi in
Hattiesburg. Young and Gathings were recognized for outstanding
dedication for top notch programming and presentation. The topic of the
presentation was “Preparing for the Unexpected.” A visual aid of the
tornado damage in November 2002 was prepared by MUW public affairs
Assistant Director Chris Jenkins. The session was based on a
timeline of events which included an emergency response and
preparedness plan. Young and Gathings informed the audience of the
tools necessary to prepare for the unknown. “Some of our sister schools
have never experienced what we have gone through here at The W,”
Young said.
The members of MAHO learned how to prepare, organize, control and
communicate effectively in a crisis situation. Gathings added, “The
conference was a great way for us to network with the
representatives of other institutions and learn about the changes
they’ve made in their residence life.”
