We will be featuring some abstracts in the weeks leading up to the Roundtable to give you a better idea of the wonderful sessions you can attend.

Student homelessness on college campuses is a growing problem across the nation. The University of Central Florida has cultivated a multi-disciplinary approach to help best serve the needs of students centering on case management and the Homeless Student Committee. Participants will learn about case management of homeless students from start to finish including: the student of concern process, financial aid and student account procedures, key partnerships on campus, and how to build support for your office. Initiatives and future directions for this population will also be discussed in this panel presentation. The HECMA Leadership Team and the Conference Planning Group believe these panels will enrich not only our conference experience but also enhance and inform our work. We are thankful for the willingness of our panelists to share their wisdom and strength. Posted by: Katherine C. Zilmer Membership & Conference Chair membership@hecma.org
