RESIDENCE HALL INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Residence Hall Association (RHA)

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) of Appalachian State University is the second largest student organization on campus. It is the student-run governing board of all Hall Councils. RHA is sponsored by the Deparment of Housing & Residence Life and is funded from residence hall fees. RHA is a network of students comprised of an executive board and one representative from each residence Hall Council. RHA discusses various needs of residential students and is active in making sure the halls' needs are met. RHA is a way for students to meet leaders from other areas of campus. It is also a way for students to become actively involved in the campus residential community, develop leadership skills, communicate ideas from the Hall Council level, plan campus-wide activities, and serve as an advisory council regarding policy issues affecting campus residents. Each hall has one RHA representative who serves as the Hall Council's voice and votes at all RHA meetings.

Hall Council

All students who live in residence halls are members of their Hall Council. Student representatives to Hall Council plan events, enhance residence hall living, and learn about current issues on campus. Hall Council designs activities that are fun and promotes community fellowship between the students. Hall Council is an exciting organization that has the capability of making a lasting impression on each student.
