Happy Birthday MACUHO!!

This past week I had the pleasure of celebrating in MACUHO's 40th birthday for its annual conference!!


This was my first time coming to MACUHO and boy am I glad that I went to this one. The conference this year was in Baltimore, MD and we stayed at the Tremont Plaza Hotel & Grand Historic Venue!


This was the living room section of the suite that I stayed in. There was also a cute kitchenette! I was truly living the suite life on the 29th floor!! 



This photo above is the hallway that connects the hotel part of the Tremont Plaza to where most of our sessions and activities were in the Conference area section. 
The hallway tells the history of the building dating back to the 1700s. 



This was probably one of my favorite places and it was the Lady's Lounge aka the restroom on the lobby level of the conference area!! As you can see it was gorgeous!! When you enter there were two steps to take down into this massive area. The photo shows the lounge stide of the rest room and you can see part of the many stalls there. There were also great grand mirrors in this lounge.


In the library I took a photo for #MACUHODiversity.


This grand room is called the Corinthian Room and was where we had most of our big group activities...the luncheons and dinners and opening reception all took place in here.


This was my main course at the dinner on Thursday night...it look great and tasted even better. To follow that was a great cupcake from the local Cupcakery.

This is a photo of Julie (Rutgers Camden and cohort mate), Patrick (Rutgers New Brunswick Professor and VP of Student Affairs), and I just before the closing dinner ceremony!


Outside of these photos I had a really great time it was the perfect place to relax, reinvent yourself, feel a sense of renewal, and reconnect with other peers and colleagues in the field as well as network and meet others from different institutions and vendors. I even won a great basket in the charity basket raffle from Temple University!!

That is all for now. Till next time I am Rena!
