Welcome

The Tulane University Residence Hall Association, was founded at Tulane in 1981, and is a student organization committed to improving the quality of residence life for on-campus students. We perform a variety of functions to serve the best interests of our residents.

We work very closely with the Office of Housing and Residential Life to constantly relay resident input we receive and to relay the mission of that office as well. We serve as the official voice of the residents, and use this to review and change policy as suggested by the residents. We have worked with HRL on multiple occasions to ensure the best interest of the residents.

RHA's Legislative Body is comprised of two representatives from each residence hall on campus. These representatives also serve as Residence Hall Government (RHG) officers in their individual halls, often as the President and Vice President of their respective halls. Both RHA and the RHGs implement programming to foster a better sense of community in the residence halls and increase overall development of a community atmosphere. Get involved and you could help out with organizing these fun activities.

Everyone who resides in a University residence hall is automatically a member of RHA and their hall's RHG. A small portion of every resident's housing fee goes to funding these organizations. You can attend RHG meetings to find out what is going on in your area or RHA meetings to find out what is going on with the entire on-campus population or to ask for RHA to sponsor an event.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime!
