Gender Inclusion and the Roommate Matching Process - SHI622

In this episode Wes sits down with co-hosts (and long time work friends), Adam Yarber and Billie-Page Peterson to talk about Pride month and how student housing managers can help support their residents who identify as LGBTQIA.  We also replay a recent segment from ShopTalk concerning Gender Inclusion and the Roommate Matching Process.  That segment discusses the tools, 3rd party partners, and internal policies and procedures that operators are putting in place to not only better support their residents but to also reduce liability.  This segment includes the following guests: Julie Bonnin from Asset Living, Jay Sensi from My College Roomie, Kimmy Kelley from ACC, Rob Castellucci from RoomSync, and Jamie Torkelson from PeakMade.
