Residence Hall Association

Committees

Members of these committees shape residence hall policies, affect changes in the resident living experience, or bring new and exciting programs to our campus.

There are currently a few committees that are open to residents with more information coming later. Students who live on-campus, are interested in representing their fellow residents, and want to see their ideas and suggestions heard and followed are strongly encouraged to apply to serve on one of these committees. In the past, committees have been created for a variety of issues, such as planning Crawfest, the Labor Day BBQ, discussing elections, and constitution and bylaw changes.
