In this panel, we invite HRL leaders to reflect on the values and frameworks that have previously helped them to make difficult decisions from a place of integrity and core values, and consider how they are approaching difficult decisions related to housing and residence life in this unprecedented new environment.

Target Audience: All residential life and housing educators
