The SWACUHO Podcast provides small-scale actionable professional development for housing professionals by interviewing Past Presidents, practitioner scholars, and other SWACUHO members with specific areas of experience. Episodes will be released on the first Monday of every month.
In this episode of the SWACUHO Podcast, host Ricky Harris sits down with housing veterans Hayley Minton (UT Dallas) and Gregg Suttle (SMU), who bring over 50 years of combined experience to the table. Together, they explore both sides of the move-in coin: the professional strategies required to manage the chaos and the personal strategies needed to survive it.

Intermingled throughout the conversation are thoughts from SWACUHO leaders and stakeholders from over many years who tell stories and reflect on their time in SWACUHO.
