Hello! My name is Allison Smith, but many people call me Allie. I will answer to either so feel free to call me Allie or Allison.

I currently work at KSU in the Department of Residence Services as a fiscal manager. I have worked there full time since December 2005. Prior to my full time employment, I was a graduate assistant for Residence Services while earning a master's in business administration. I have several research interests. At this point in time, I've taken an interest in identifying what the experience of involvement with the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) is to students. I co-advise a group of students who work for one arm of the organization and I have often wondered what keeps them connected to the organization and I am interested in seeking out an understanding of the experience and connections through undertaking a descriptive study, informed by phenomenology, to gain a better and practical understanding of involvement in the organization.
