What is RHA?
The Residence Halls Association (RHA) is a student government made up of residents, working to make life in the residence halls better for everyone. We do this through legislation, event planning, and advocacy.
RHA is led by an Executive Board, which runs our weekly Assembly meetings, manages the budget, supports committees, and works closely with housing officials and other student organizations. Regionally, RHA is supported by the Great Lakes Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (GLACURH) leadership and a community of like-minded individuals. We get similar support at a national level from the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) and its affiliated members.
The RHA Assembly is made up of representatives from affiliated residence halls, who serve on committees focused on specific areas outlined in our Constitution. These representatives also act as liaisons between the Executive Board and the Hall Councils in each building.
Hall Councils use their own funds to plan events and make improvements in their individual communities. They do this through adding new amenities, organizing programs, and enhancing the living environment.
