RHA Plans

Today was the first general body meeting of the Residential Hall Association. Now probably this sounds cool, but not many readers know what it is. It’s a body literally comprised of every student living on campus. We oversee all the individual dorm Residential Hall Governments, work WITH Resident Advisors and the Housing and Resident Life staff, and provide funding for programs. Not many people on campus know who we are either . . . and right now, we’re a group of ex-presidents and vice presidents from freshman dorms that decided to keep on moving up! I’m the VP of Public Relations . . . . though really if anything, I’m part of a team of people dedicated to making life in dorms more fun!

So now its our goal to be known! My plan is to throw some kind of huge charity benefit . . . in the new UC. Turns out they have a ballroom, a HUGE one, where you can throw parties like this. In fact. another group on campus is already planning a Dance Marathon, where people will be dancing or on their feet for 24 hours!

The new UC makes life a LOT more interesting for all of us. Prior to it, there was really no place on campus where we could host a huge campus wide event. There is a ballroom in one of our dorms, Josephine Louise, but it is an all-girls dorm which makes it difficult for boys to come into the building for an event. There are various other rooms in other dorms . . . but none large enough to fit a huge crowd.

So . . . . for everyone reading this: if you have any suggestions for my big party- email me!!! The RHA would certainly appreciate it!

Andrew, the VP of Finance, Dan, the President, and Nene, the VP of Administration hard at work!
