E.R.R.S.A. serves as the governing body for the students living on campus. The purpose of this organization is to represent students' views, to give input into housing policies and decisions, and to provide large scale social activities for on-campus students. E.R.R.S.A. also sponsors fundraising activities to enhance the residential environment. More importantly, E.R.R.S.A. offers leadership opportunities for resident students. New students can get involved by running for representative positions in the fall.
Many students go on to run for executive offices as upper-class students.
