Introduction to SWACUHO 60th Anniversary Episode
00:00:02
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the SWACUHO podcast. 60 years ago, a group of housing professionals came together with a shared purpose, to support one another and strengthen the work we do for students.
00:00:13
Speaker
That idea grew into what we now know SWACUHO. Welcome to the SWACUHO 60th anniversary podcast episode, where we're telling the stories behind the people, the progress, and the passion that built this organization.
00:00:27
Speaker
Whether you're a new professional or a long time member, This one is for you.
Role in Anniversary Celebration
00:00:33
Speaker
Our guest today is Leanna Payton. Leanna serves as the Director of Housing and Community Standards at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, and on the SWACUHO Executive Board as the Arkansas State Director.
00:00:46
Speaker
She has spent the past couple of years helping lead the 60th anniversary celebration and is passionate about bringing member stories to life. She believes the heart of SWACUHO is its people and the impact they have on students and each other.
00:01:01
Speaker
Thank you, Ricky. I really appreciate that introduction. It's an honor to be here with you to celebrate this milestone year. Akuho has meant so much to so many professionals over the past 60 years.
00:01:13
Speaker
And I'm excited to spend this time reflecting on the stories, the people and the impact that brought us here today. Let's just dive in and start celebrating what makes this organization so special.
00:01:26
Speaker
So this project started as a way to capture the living history of Suakuho and celebrate the people and the stories that built the association. So just share how this really began. Yes, absolutely. So this really started with Drew Jarr.
00:01:41
Speaker
So Drew, when he was president a few years ago and brought the idea forward, I was serving in other capacities at the time with committee work, and we began by asking what a meaningful 60th celebration should look like.
00:01:58
Speaker
So after talking with him, Drew, and after speaking with the committee at the time, we decided on a mix of social media posts leading up to the annual conference in 2026 and newsletters and blog features to keep members engaged and excited throughout the year by sharing history of the organization.
00:02:21
Speaker
We've also created six retractable banners highlighting historical moments. And at the conference, there will be archival photos, video interviews, and footage from across the years. So I am excited for everybody to see those.
00:02:38
Speaker
And as always, but even even more this year, we're excited to welcome many past presidents back to this year's conference. So as we planned, we kept coming back to one thing.
00:02:51
Speaker
So Cuho has a rich history, but so much of it lives in people's memories, in mentorships, and most importantly, in the relationships that have been built over time.
00:03:03
Speaker
We realized that if we didn't intentionally capture those stories, some could be lost. So this project became a way to preserve Suacuho's living history while celebrating the people who shaped it.
SWACUHO History and Milestones
00:03:17
Speaker
And there's one thing I know for sure. i have that history booklet memorized. Very nice. Which, this a good time to plug that history booklet. Be sure to check out the history booklet on the Swakuha website. it It has passed award winners, milestones, conference locations, and even some old themes and logos.
00:03:38
Speaker
That's right. And that is where I've been pulling from all year long, which is why I have so much of it memorized at this point. And I definitely want to recognize the committee members who made all this possible drew a jar, of course, Jill Eckert at, uh, Texas women's and Dana grant at Sam Houston state, along with really interesting. He has continued to play.
00:04:04
Speaker
A pivotal part all year is Dr. Bob Huss, a past president and a long-time member. He's now retired and it's been a privilege learning from him. Yeah, I see that it's also about the impact of the work itself.
00:04:18
Speaker
Yes, exactly. When we first
Evolution of Housing Policies
00:04:20
Speaker
started meeting, I remember Dana talking about how if we're going to talk about the history of SWACUHO, we have to talk about the history of housing itself in the field. So housing work, as we all know, is incredibly incredibly meaningful, even if it often happens behind the scenes. So over the years, SWACUHO has helped professionals grow, lead and better support students.
00:04:49
Speaker
This project shines a light on how the profession has evolved and the impact it's had on campuses and communities across the region and and across the the nation.
00:04:59
Speaker
So for example, in the 1960s, when we first began, we were talking a lot about married student housing and everyone's policies on that. And now, of course, we call that family housing.
00:05:11
Speaker
It seems like one of your biggest focuses has been on the people. This work has really highlighted the members. Yes, and that is because Suakuho is its members.
00:05:25
Speaker
And a lot of folks that I spoke with said that. Every program, leadership role and initiative has come from people who care about this field.
00:05:36
Speaker
So this is our chance to celebrate those contributions and say thank you to the individuals who built and sustained the organization. and there's definitely a sense of regional pride here.
00:05:47
Speaker
Yes, there is. Our region has a unique culture of support and collaboration. People feel connected to Sokuho in ah in a personal way. And that pride has carried carried the organization forward for six decades.
Culture and Pride in SWACUHO
00:06:02
Speaker
In fact, very interesting, I interviewed Mr. Lee Thompson, Jr. as part of the video that will be shown soon we will all see it. And he mentioned that as well. His family's company, Southwest Contract, is one of our longtime SWACUHO corporate partners.
00:06:22
Speaker
And let me let you hear what he had to say about the pride of SWACUHO.
00:06:30
Speaker
I think it's a smaller region. i think it allows you to be able to foster those relationships more closely because you're not dealing with the vast number of institutions like some of the other regions have.
00:06:42
Speaker
um and and ah And again, I think it just comes back to the fact that it was our initial region that we really partnered with and wanted to, you know, kind of plant our flag in and say, we're going to take care of this region first and then venture out. And I just think it's also, you know, the people, you know, the people within that region. um you know, make it unique. The personalities are involved. There's already multi-generational ah administrators in roles where I used to work with their dads and now all all of a sudden I'm seeing sons involved in in some capacity. And so I think it's just the relational piece that continues to propel SWACUHO to be the region that it is.
00:07:27
Speaker
So now let's expand on all of that and let's begin with the general history of the organization.
Founding and Initial Structure of SWACUHO
00:07:32
Speaker
So we started in 1966. Give us a brief overview of how the organization started.
00:07:40
Speaker
Okay, so I don't know how brief this will be, but at that time at that time, Akuho I had already begun. It was not international at the time so it was called Akuho.
00:07:52
Speaker
At the Akuho Conference that year of Penn State, delegates from what we call the Southwest Institutions met. privately to discuss the need of having a regional meeting.
00:08:04
Speaker
Meeting is what they referred to as the organization in the beginning, and and this actually lasted for several years. They decided on dates to meet the following February and to invite housing and food service workers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana at the time.
00:08:23
Speaker
They elected temporary officers and agreed to meet at Southern Methodist University. The first president's name was Mack C. Adams.
00:08:33
Speaker
And in the history booklet, it's really interesting that there is a typewriter written letter that he sent to colleagues in the region. They actually enclosed a program in the invitation in in the invitation as well.
00:08:48
Speaker
The name was the same then as it is now. So that is interesting that the name has never changed. the Southwest Association of College and University Housing Officers, and it took place on February 24th and 25th, 1966.
00:09:05
Speaker
Mr. Adams closed the invitation with, and I'm quoting, we believe that you'll find the program both enjoyable and professionally stimulating.
00:09:16
Speaker
we know that you will benefit We know that you will benefit from the opportunity to meet and know your counterpart at the other nearby institutions. So I found that very interesting.
00:09:28
Speaker
There were 27 chartering institutions and Henderson State was one of those. And 76 participants attended the first meeting.
00:09:39
Speaker
The first conference also consisted of a keynote address, just like we do today, three panel discussions, six sessions, campus tours, which a lot of times are optional today, and a closing banquet. So many things have actually stayed the same over the years.
00:10:00
Speaker
So what did the organization look like in the beginning in terms of structure, like officers, committees, dues, stuff like that? So that has changed a lot over the years.
00:10:11
Speaker
So during the business meeting at the first conference, it was decided that there would be three elected positions, president, vice president, and secretary. And there would be an individual from each state appointed to the executive board, just like there is today.
00:10:28
Speaker
And the conference would move from state to state each year. just like today. So in the beginning, the vice president also served as the program chair and the press past president would be on the board as well.
00:10:44
Speaker
Obviously in today's SWACUHO, there's no way vice president would also be able to do program chair. We have just grown too much.
00:10:55
Speaker
right So each year, each year the organization grew a little more For example, the following year in 1967, members had to pay annual dues of $5. Wow. Inflation is truly real, I must say.
00:11:13
Speaker
Yes, exactly. And what is it today, Mr. Treasurer? Well, it varies depending on your institution size and stuff, but it starts at $100. So we've we've we've come quite a distance.
00:11:27
Speaker
Yes, as we should have with inflation. So going back to structure, committees began to be established as early as the second year when the first constitution was approved.
00:11:40
Speaker
That year, the standing committees were the program committee, the nominating committee is what they called it, and site selection committee. A publicity chair was also appointed.
00:11:54
Speaker
So you see these changes throughout the years. and Of course, many moments have stuck, many things have stuck and many have changed. Just as the field of housing changes, the organization has adapted or stayed the same in some respects as well.
00:12:12
Speaker
Other examples include, in 1969, the passing of the gavel began between presidents. The first recorded conference theme was noted 1970.
00:12:25
Speaker
The program committee had a budget for the first time 1972. They were very excited about that. The first female president served in 1973 to 1974. Her name was Nevada with the first mid-year meeting beginning that year as well.
00:12:43
Speaker
And then by 1975, there were seven committees Surveys began in 1980 and that became a big deal. And by the time you get to 1984, 191 delegates attended the conference representing 50 institutions.
00:13:01
Speaker
and isn't it true that the 1980s include some pretty well-known SWACUHO names, many of whom are retired by now, but were in the beginning or middle of their careers at the time?
00:13:14
Speaker
That's right. So most were in the towards the beginning of their careers. To name a few, Kent Sampson from Oklahoma State University who served in many capacities, including President Nancy Murphy Chadwick of Texas Women's, who many, many I have spoke with describe her as Swakuho powerhouse.
00:13:38
Speaker
She's also an award namesake. and Dr. Bob Huss, who I mentioned earlier from Oklahoma State University. actually had the opportunity to interview Dr. Huss, and he had a funny story about one time when they hosted at a state park.
00:13:55
Speaker
So let's listen to that. of course, enjoyed my time on the leadership team. I always found it enlightening. But one of the leadership things that we did at OSU at least twice, maybe three times in my time, we were we were we hosted.
00:14:16
Speaker
and I have have to note that I am especially grateful to those who attended the what I call the State Park Adventure. The Yuris Wakuo was held at the State Park in Oklahoma. I always appreciated the be the attendees humor about being in a state park. And that was just fun to see that kind of humor and appreciation. Yeah, I can't imagine us hosting at a state park now.
00:14:51
Speaker
So throughout the years, um what did you notice in terms of themes? So one of the banners that you all will see at the conference really dives into this.
00:15:04
Speaker
And Dana Grant helped a lot with gathering this information. The 1960s to 1970s, let's start there. That was all about foundations, setting up the organization and of course, gaining interest.
00:15:20
Speaker
So early program sessions really focused on housing contracts, safety and security, what we would call family housing now and facilities.
00:15:32
Speaker
A regional placement exchange also launched in 1972, and the first vendors came in 1979 or corporate partners, as we say now.
00:15:46
Speaker
There was a lot of reluctance with this at first, and in fact, in 1967, it was stated that no salesman because they would distract from the interest sessions.
00:15:58
Speaker
Of course, we know now our corporate partners are a huge part of the association and I, for one, cannot imagine a conference without them. Then we moved to the 1980s and that theme is definitely focused on growth and structure.
00:16:18
Speaker
Here there's emphasis on rra and hall director training, so not just the housing supervisors. A supervisory skills workshop was created.
00:16:31
Speaker
an organizational handbook was developed. This is when the first RA conference was launched, which of course now we call that Student Staff Leadership Conference.
00:16:43
Speaker
And then the first member database was created in 1985.
00:16:49
Speaker
And one of SWACUHO's long standing traditions began, the SWACUHO scissors.
Traditions and Innovations Over the Years
00:16:57
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. tell us Tell our listeners about the Swakuho Scissors.
00:17:03
Speaker
The 1988 conference host began the Swakuho Scissors tradition by presenting scissors to Jill Eckerd, the 1989 conference host, to help her cut through all of the red tape of hosting a conference.
00:17:20
Speaker
Jill, who I mentioned earlier, is a long-standing member of Swakuho as well. And as you can tell, she has been around for many years. Let me let her explain the story.
00:17:34
Speaker
So at our annual conference um in the closing banquet, as we transition the current host team um to next year's host, um there is a transfer of the scissors. It's now in a formal box and It has all kinds of um stuff attached to that scissors to represent the various conferences. And so I received the scissors from Nolan Mears, who was at um San Angelo State um when I was going to become the host for Hot Springs in 1989. So it was the
00:18:18
Speaker
would have been the spring of 1988. Nolan talked about all the red tape he had to cut through, whether it was at his institution or working with the exec board, because you're not free to do everything and anything you want to do. You're you're really working for the association as you host.
00:18:39
Speaker
And so a lot of red tape. And so he gave me this giant scissors. um And so at as I was wrapping up my um host stint, I had um the scissors engraved with Swakuho, and I think the date is on there, um of 1989. And so it has been passed down from host to host to host. um Because I left Swakuho for a period of time, somewhere along the way,
00:19:15
Speaker
folks started adding something to represent their conference. And so it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, heavier and heavier um and gets passed on. and it's really a fun tradition. um and if you And if we showed it off, um I think we would see lots of interesting things on that scissors.
00:19:43
Speaker
scissors
00:19:46
Speaker
What a fun tradition, and Jill is definitely right. It has been added onto every year with something from each conference. There's even a plastic cup on there from one of the years, and yes, even a face mask.
00:20:00
Speaker
So that brings us to the 1990s. This was a decade defined by innovation and connection. loved loved the ninety s I was a child in the This error introduced several milestones for the association.
00:20:17
Speaker
The committee fair debuted in 1991, which as we know now is how members get interested in joining committees in the organization.
00:20:29
Speaker
The case study competition started in 1993. And Sokuho's first website went live in 1998. So I imagine it looked very different.
00:20:42
Speaker
There was also a growing emphasis on collaboration and shared learning among members. It was during this time that Dan Meiser became involved in SWACUHO representing the facilities side of housing.
00:20:56
Speaker
So his involvement highlighted how every facet of the profession, facilities, operations, administration, and residence life has a place within the association.
00:21:07
Speaker
Dan has often shared that SWACUHO has consistently done a strong job representing facilities professionals, which is which is what Dan was. He was a facilities professional.
00:21:20
Speaker
He is widely known, though, for putting students first, a value that defines his legacy, and led him to becoming an award namesake. In fact, the facilities maintenance professional of distinction award was named in his honor.
00:21:36
Speaker
at the 2018 SWACUHO conference. So actually not that not that many years ago. Throughout his years of service, Dan held multiple roles in SWACUHO including technology coordinator, a position that was previously known as the database marketing manager. And he served in that role for many years.
00:21:58
Speaker
So let's hear from mr Miser. I've always been very thankful to the executive board for the creation of this special recognition for facility award.
00:22:09
Speaker
um We know that we have some people that do amazing work across the region with facilities and the impact they have on their students. and ah And so what a great opportunity to be recognized by this award, ah especially the unsung heroes that maybe sometimes their work gets overlooked. And so ah for that, I'm thankful for this award.
00:22:30
Speaker
And on a personal note, I'm just really honored and feel blessed to have my name associated with it It's one of the greatest honors of my professional career and it means an awful lot to me.
00:22:44
Speaker
So let's continue with the timeline. That brings us to the 2000s to 2010s.
Modernization and Growth of SWACUHO
00:22:50
Speaker
That's right. That time period was about modernization. The new professionals workshop was renamed to Suakuhoiū Conference materials moved to digital formats.
00:23:03
Speaker
Everything is digital now. The newsletter became digital and a new local a new logo was developed during this time period. Mid-level formal meetings began and the due structure was expanded to support the growth of the organization.
00:23:22
Speaker
So this is actually also the time period when I first became involved in Swakuho, if I can tell a personal story. Yeah, go for it. My first conference was in 2011, eleven and i did a program with my friend and graduate school peer from University of Oklahoma at the time, Emily.
00:23:42
Speaker
And we won program of the year, you know, Glee, at the TV show Glee was all the rage at the time. and we incorporated that into our presentation.
00:23:53
Speaker
We actually got to go to Okuho I that year. Okuho supported us. So I'll never forget that. When was your first Okuho? Actually a couple years after that. So it was 2013 in Rogers, Arkansas when I was a graduate student.
00:24:11
Speaker
Yeah, remember going to some of these program sessions and things with you and connecting with you. We definitely had a lot of fun back then as entry-level professionals. Our supervisor at the time at UA Little Rock, Dr. Rikki Turner, she was very heavily involved in SWACUHO. Didn't you interview her?
00:24:28
Speaker
Yes, I did interview her. And just to piggyback off of what you were saying, for those of you listening, Rikki and I had our start sessions together at University of Arkansas Little Rock. So we've known each other for many, many years. and as he was saying, our supervisor at the time, Dr. Ricky Turner was a prominent figure in Sawakuho in the 2010s.
00:24:55
Speaker
She was on the host committee for the 2017 conference. And then she left the field and came back in 2022 the keynote speaker. to be the keynote speaker She, like everyone else, has been impacted by relationships within the association.
00:25:14
Speaker
So let's hear from her.
00:25:18
Speaker
60 years of SWACUHO, would be so interested to see the impact, like if it's like a grid, you know, of the impact and like the tendrils and who it all has touched all all over the world, honestly. Those...
00:25:32
Speaker
those Those memories in Swakuho, the relationships in Swakuho, those are some of the most precious, um the precious memories that I have. And ah going to those conferences, like being in the keynote that year, i'd been ah I'd been out for a while and seeing everybody and getting to hug people and seeing that community again, it just warmed my heart.
00:26:00
Speaker
It goes back to how this really is all about relationships. Wakuho was founded on that and still exhibits it today. Absolutely. And speaking of relationships, during Dr. Turner's tenure, Adonis Thompson played a pivotal role in the association.
00:26:19
Speaker
He works for STARS now, but continues to come to the annual conference year after year, year after year to represent them. but also to connect with his region.
00:26:30
Speaker
is also the only Starz employee who lives in Arkansas currently, which I learned while interviewing him. He was the president in 2018 to 2019, and i spoke with him about that experience.
00:26:45
Speaker
When I think about SWACUHO, it's about building up leaders and helping us advance, and not only in our careers, but just in our lives and being better. And so each one of those different positions just offered an opportunity to be able to branch out. um I think one of the things that really stood out for me was to be able to see how people believe in you. Back when I ran for president, I did not think that I was going to do it. I said in my mind, I just wanted to at least be, ah ah you know, the state director. I was like, oh, this is the goal. And, you know, a few of my mentors all stepped up and was like, nope, it's your time. You know, it's time for you to step up and do this and you can handle it. And
00:27:20
Speaker
To have people to see something in you that sometimes you don't see it yourself, I think is a really big thing. um And that's what I love seeing about the organization is that we highly encourage people to go out and take those opportunities and take those chances. of Grow network, you know, doing things from networking within the region, networking within your state, you know, and also networking with different vendors and because you never know. We used to always hear. You may not be the one buying something now, but in the future you may, and you may also help shape those decisions on what happens on your campus.
00:27:53
Speaker
Yes, speaking of exhibitors, I wonder if there's anyone at the conference who loves the exhibit hall as much as you do. True. It's definitely the highlight for me.
00:28:04
Speaker
I love the conversations. I love the freebies. I love learning and meeting new people. So i tell Ricky, you, i tell you every year, I'm gonna go talk to everybody in the exhibit hall. And I actually do.
00:28:20
Speaker
So know I would never be able to do that in a national conference, but you can do that at a regional conference. So Also connecting with those that already know well and get to see at the conference every year. And of course, you only get to see those or those businesses once once a year.
00:28:41
Speaker
So let me transition now into our final piece of the timeline, into today. The 2020s and through today, i themed resilience and reconnection.
00:28:54
Speaker
So during the COVID-19 pandemic, we swiftly pivoted to virtual engagement. Online conferences maintained connection for everybody and learning, and we continued in-person events in 2022 in Fort Smith.
00:29:13
Speaker
Of course, throughout this time, we've continued to see growth in membership, leadership, and impact. And as of 2025, there were 68 member institutions.
00:29:24
Speaker
Yeah, holding a virtual conference in 2021 was definitely an interesting experience. I was a big part of that because I was technology coordinator the time. What was cool about that year is it was free of charge.
00:29:36
Speaker
Anybody could participate from anywhere in the world, which you know about, right? Yes, exactly. i was living in Italy at the time, working for the University of Oklahoma. so I was still in the region, but of course was disconnected, as I could never attend anything.
00:29:55
Speaker
So I moved back to Arkansas in August 2021, my home state. So participating in Swakuhuho that year, you know, my time, it was nine o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, midnight.
00:30:10
Speaker
my time in Italy, but it was the perfect way to welcome me back to the association.
Future Aspirations and Inspiration for New Professionals
00:30:16
Speaker
So as we close out today, we also look to the future. This project isn't only about reflecting on where we've been, it's about where we're going.
00:30:25
Speaker
We want to sustain our successes, of course, celebrate our history and continue to grow and evolve as an association. While change is inevitable, some themes will always remain. And one of the most important is inspiring and supporting new and emerging professionals.
00:30:41
Speaker
SWACU has always been a place where people find mentors, build connections, and discover their passion for this work. That spirit of investment in people is what will carry the organization forward.
00:30:53
Speaker
Yes, exactly. We want to inspire new and incoming professionals. That's all of our jobs. When someone hears these stories, they realize that they're joining something bigger than their themselves, a community with a legacy of mentorship and support.
00:31:10
Speaker
Our current president-elect, Dr. J.C. Stoner, gave me a great quote about our future. He said, I believe the future of Sokuho is serving our regional membership in small ways consistently year round.
00:31:24
Speaker
In addition to our amazing in-person events throughout the year, I hope we create opportunities for our membership to grow and enhance tangible skills and make connections, all of which must be available to all members from their local communities to participate in on their own time.

I also had the opportunity to interview one of your residence coordinators, David Peoples. He is an entry-level professional in this field, so let's hear from him.
00:31:57
Speaker
It's really exciting to know that from a standpoint that I didn't know that this even existed to now today, I feel so welcome is probably one of the greatest feelings I've had in a long time.
00:32:12
Speaker
And that to me is probably one of the best. And it's really nice to know that this organization truly cares for everyone who is actually in it.
00:32:25
Speaker
Very cool. I appreciate UCA being represented there and go Bears. Yes, of course. i enjoyed speaking to everybody I spoke to and i want us to end with hearing from our current president, Beth Eppinger.

Speaker
Swakuho is still relevant today. Swakuho serves a purpose. It fills the gap for professional development, especially as budgets continue to tighten and our professionals at all levels are still benefiting from the professional development provided by SWACUHO. And that can be through our various conferences. it can be through participating in a committee or serving on leadership. There's still a role that is available for anyone in our region.
00:33:22
Speaker
And i just have to say, here's to 60 years strong. The best is still ahead. So at its at its core, this project, the 60 years of SWACUHO, honors where we've been celebrates where we are, and helps inspire where we're going.
00:33:40
Speaker
i wholeheartedly agree. And thank you so much, Leanna, for your amazing work and extraordinary dedication to this 60th anniversary project and SWACUHO in general. It really does take the volunteers just like you who are committed to our continued positive impact on the field and its professionals.
00:33:57
Speaker
And we wouldn't have been this successful for so long without people like you. And your work truly does highlight why, at least for me, SWACUHO is like coming home. So here's to another 60 years of memories.

Speaker
