Harrison, a 2008 Elon alumna, assumed the role in mid-October at the organization’s annual conference. NCHO is a state-level association designed to create a professional community that promotes an exchange of ideas and philosophies among institutions with residence hall programs.

NCHO has been Harrison’s professional home since her days in graduate school when she worked with her cohort members to plan NCHO’s first Graduate Professional Summit and served on the professional development committee prior to moving to Virginia in 2014.

In her role as NCHO President, she is excited to connect with campuses across the state to continue to see how NCHO can support the needs of diverse institution types along with highlighting the amazing work that is happening across the state. Some of her goals connect to increasing NCHO’s visibility and exploring how all professional levels find meaning through their NCHO experiences.
