3December 06, 2007GLACURH RBD, NCCs, NRHH-CCs, and AdvisorsIn February of 2006, I got my first taste of conference life at IRHA 2006: Recipe forLeadership at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Not knowing anything about theseconferences, I was quickly pushed, by my advisor, into a game of Ride the Pony and with thatlittle shove I was on my way to dedicating my years at SIUE to University Housing. Since thatconference, I have made my way up the “ranks” in our delegations. I had a dream to hold everyposition in our delegation in my 4 years at SIUE. I have achieved most of the positions in avery short amount of time: first time delegate, delegation leader, NRHH-CC, and entertainmentchair for IRHA 2007: Search For The Rare Leader. At the close of GLACURH 2007:Leadership is always in style at SVSU, my delegation and I had yet another dream to host aregional conference. Although at SIUE we strive for excellence and always set our goals high,I came up with a more realistic dream: to host No Frills 2009.After attending many conferences I feel that I can host a conference along with adedicated conference staff. Many students who have been to conferences before haveexpressed interest in helping out in anyway possible. Students who have held positions or beeninvolved with housing and moved off campus now have voiced their interest as well. Since ourstart on the bid, my conference staff has been dedicated to making sure that our dream to host aregional conference can be achieved.Why should you vote for SIUE to be the home of No Frills 2009? SIUE has a veryyoung and ambitious RHA established in 2003, but we have grown exponentially. As ouruniversity celebrates its 50th birthday this year, we would like to showcase our university to theregion as we did to the state in spring 2007. As you may or may not know, our university willbe moving our athletics from NCAA Division II and climbing up into Division I. As auniversity we are attempting to show the nation what our athletics can do in the NCAA, and wehave a dream to show you what our housing system can do as well. We believe this is a greattime for SIUE to have this dream. With a new residence hall just opening this past year and anstudent success center currently being built, our dedication to the students and their wanting toremain on campus is tremendous. If SIUE is chosen to host No Frills, it would be a great honorin helping our dreams become a reality.My conference staff, RHA and NRHH, and residence life staff realize the tremendousopportunity to host No Frills 2009. We are all very excited to offer you this opportunity, andwe know that our dedication and hard work will shine through the conference when you attendin 2009, showing the region that you can Dare to Dream.Sincerely,Ram GopalNo Frills 2009 Conference Chair
4Welcome To EdwardsvilleSouthern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) was established in 1957 as a separateinstitution from SIU-Carbondale within the Southern IllinoisUniversity system. Not only has this year seen the Universitycelebrate its 50th birthday, but also the opening of a new residencehall (Evergreen), a Cougar statue located on main campus, and theunveiling of our new logo for our impending climb into Division Iathletics. The campus is located on 2,660 acres of rolling land and woods dotted with lakes andoffers 43 Baccalaureate degrees and 45 Masters degrees.Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is a welcoming and friendly campus thatresides only a 20 minute drive from main campus to the Arch in St Louis; due to the locationthere are a variety of resources available to the SIUE students, faculty, and staff. The optionsfor internships, careers, and entertainment are endless because of facilities like the St. LouisScience Center, the City Museum, Forest Park and The Fabulous Fox Theatre.SIUE is home to nearly 3,500 on-campus student livingin residence halls that have suite-style or apartment-style livingcommunities. In the fall of 2007 SIUE opened its fifth residenceunit: Evergreen Hall, a hybrid of residence halls and apartmentstyle living. We believe that SIUE offers an environment to itsstudents that is the most beneficial to them. SIUE makes allincoming and returning residents feel like Edwardsville is theirhome away from home, and its is our dream that all studentswho start at our university will stay for the four-year experience.Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is determined in creating a diverse anddown-to-earth community with students representing 99 Illinois counties, 43 states and 48nations helping bring students closer together. Due to the prime location in the east metrosection of St. Louis area, SIUE draws from both industrial and agricultural areas. Each of thefive residence halls and Cougar Village have their own area councils. RHA, the governingbody for the area councils, facilitates leadership training for emergingleaders and provides financial co-sponsorship to residential studentprogramming.The students and staff of SIUE are determined to moving forwardand excelling in all aspects of life, daring to be the first and gain newknowledge. The Red Storm Chapter of NRHH was founded in Spring of 2006. Both our RHAand NRHH are young, however this has not stopped us from daring to dream. From hosting astate-wide conference in 2007 (IRHA) and continually recognizing our campus leaders, weknow that our dreams can come true. SIUE would love to show the region what we haveaccomplished in the past 50 years. And with our impending climb into Division I athletics, whatother way to showcase our University Housing than to host a regional conference? SIUE islooking forward to the chance to become more involved with our young organizations byhosting No Frills 2009.
