We ended #CUBOResLife with the premiere of Contact Hours - a moving film about suicide, self-harm & the unseen emotional weight carried by ResLife teams. Followed by a powerful discussion of the filmmaking process and the emotional themes drawn out.

Laura Bates spoke to delegates on how gender-based violence is embedded in student experience, & how stigma and a lack of response create harm.
ResLife teams play a critical role in disrupting harassment & supporting survivors - a crucial conversation that must be continued.

Great panel this morning on showing the value of Residence Life. With tight budgets, we need to prove impact through data, stories and strong cross-campus collaboration. ResLife brings significant value to universities - it's time to make sure that’s seen! #CUBOResLife

The wonderful Michelle Overton spoke at #CUBOResLife on navigating the pressures of working in residence life. With burnout and mental health struggles on the rise, supporting the wellbeing of staff is just as vital as supporting students. Lots to reflect and act on.

A powerful keynote from Sara-Louise Ackrill at #CUBOResLife on neurodiversity. Full of insight, from challenging the medical model of disability to navigating intersectionality. Residence life teams can play a huge role in helping neurodivergent students thrive at university and far beyond.

We were also joined by GSL’s Sarah Ead who has given fascinating insight into this year’s CUBO/GSL Insight Report 🔎
