VIII. Residence Hall Involvement Opportunities

A. Residence Hall Government

Each Residence Hall Government is viewed as a student organization affiliated with the Office of Residence Life and Housing. In the fall, elections are held to designate Hall Government Officers for the academic year. These students form the governing board for their residence hall and take part in a leadership development program. Each Hall Government plans social and educational activities and reviews issues regarding residence living.

B. Hall Programming

Resident Assistants, Residence Directors, and Hall Governments sponsor numerous activities and programs each semester. Social programs are designed to facilitate personal and community development. In addition, numerous educational programs are also sponsored each semester. If you have ideas for hall programs, please contact your Resident Assistant, Residence Director or Hall government representative. They welcome your support and suggestions.

C. Residence Hall Advisory Board (RHAB)

Representatives from each Hall Government meet with the Associate Dean of Student Affairs/ Director of Residence Life to form the Residence Hall Advisory Board. The RHAB discusses and acts upon matters affecting resident students, facilitates communication with campus offices and student organizations.

D. Utilize Residence Hall Equipment and Facilities

Residents are encouraged to utilize residence hall amenities such as game rooms, kitchens, and TV rooms/areas. Most residence halls also have a variety of items such as games and vacuum cleaners that can be borrowed by residents. To take advantage of these, residents must sign out the equipment and leave their College ID card with the Security Desk Attendant.
