RHA offers excellent leadership opportunities for all resident students, providing a wide range of residential programming, advising the Office of Residential Life on policy and other areas of customer service, working to improve the living environment at Webster University, and networking with other colleges and universities across the nation. The Secretary and Vice President positions are elected at the beginning of the fall semester each year. The President, Treasurer, and National Communications Coordinator are elected at the end of spring semester. These are voting members of RHA, but meetings are open to all residents.
Representatives serve as liaisons for their respective floor or building.
The Coordinator of Housing and Residential Life is the Advisor to RHA, with cooperation from the Managing Director and Assistant Director of the Webster Village Apartments. Our region consists of schools in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Manitoba, Canada. Conferences are an excellent form of bonding and team building for the delegation, and also a great was to meet active resident students from other schools across the state, region and nation. The Residential Housing Association has also been an integral part in issues dealing with policies on campus as well. In an effort to accommodate an always growing and changing resident population, RHA has sponsored an Alchohol Forum for students to discuss their questions with members of the Student Affairs Staff, and was able to pass a change to the pet policy on campus.
