The purpose of IRHC is to develop and administer campus-wide programs and activities and to represent the views of students to University Housing, Student Government and the University. Every resident is a member of the IRHC and may volunteer for committees, attend conferences and run for office. All residents are invited to attend IRHC's meetings held every Wednesday evening in a different residence hall. Each hall is represented at the meetings by a vice-president. Weekly meetings are forums for students to voice their concerns and issues regarding living on campus.
Meetings also serve as time for students to socialize and interact.
Many other student organizations and university administrators attend the IRHC meetings to advertise events or to communicate issues. IRHC plans several activities throughout the year for all students. Members of IRHC have been planning the FARH conference since the summer. They hosted students from other Florida colleges and universities for a weekend conference where they shared ideas and made friends. Residence Hall Week is March 20-27, 2000.
