What is the Residence Hall Association (RHA)?

The primary purpose of RHA is to serve as the official voice for the residential student population. RHA provides advocacy, leadership, and civic engagement opportunities to encourage the holistic development of all on campus residents. RHA is a liaison for each Community Council between the Office of University Housing & Residential Life as well as students living in residence halls. Our Community Councils are a great way to get involved! See the Suitable link below for more information

Community Council

RHA oversees a council of on-campus living students that share the same mission of creating a fun and welcoming environment for all. The communities are separated by our North and South sides of campus. North side Community council includes the residents of White Hall, Johnson And Hardwick, and 1940 Residence Halls. South Side consists of Temple Towers, Morgan North, Morgan South, and 1300 Residence Halls. Each community includes a President, Secretary, and a Public Relations Representative as well as general body members who all equally engage with planning and hosting events for their peers. Each group meets once a week to discuss fun events that will bring together their community. If you are interested in joining, fill out our interest form!
