There are 22 Resident Assistants on staff. Each traditional residence hall staffs a centralized hall desk which provides many important services to the residence hall community. Grounded in friendly, quality and customer-oriented service, each residence hall desk is managed and staffed by student Desk Aides and supervised by a Residential Community Advisor. The desk functions as a reception area to welcome guests, provides information about the hall and the University, distributes residents' mail and also serves as the hall's office where residents may get change, buy stamps and borrow shared equipment. Its last and most important function is that the desk operates as a communication headquarters during any emergency period.
Membership consists of representatives from each non-Greek living unit and an executive board.
RHA is a student group in transition. RHA offers leadership positions for students with a wise array of backgrounds and interests. Contact your Hall Director or Hall Council President for more information. At the beginning of the academic year, each hall holds elections for membership in the Hall Council. This group works to build community in the halls by providing intentional social and educational programs and by communicating the needs of the residents to the Residential Life Staff.
