Interested in RHA?

Thank you for your consideration in running for a Community Council position! We are very excited about this upcoming year in RHA. As a member of a Community Council you will serve as the voice for residents in your building. This means you can make a difference when it comes to the needs and wants of residents in you building, as you will have direct access to the resources on campus to assist with these issues. Also, you can help create the programs and activities in your building for the year. Each Community Council has a budget of which to put on activities in the hall and make building improvements. Involvement in a Community Council is a leadership opportunity which requires time, energy, enthusiasm and commitment but it is an incredibly rewarding and fun experience. The application form is sent out via email at the beginning of each fall semester.
