The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the third largest student run organization
at Emory University. RHA consists of the
Executive Board, the
Hall
Councils, and the
Executive Council. Each of these branches works
to promote the goals and purposes of the University as related to
residential living, as well as to serve as the student voice. RHA
is an avenue for student cooperation and leadership on campus where
students
do make a difference.
We the members of RHA strive to unify Emory University’s residents, instill pride,
and enhance campus living through visible, campus wide activities
for and by the students.
The purpose of the RHA Executive Board is to serve as the coordinating
body to the individual Residence Hall Councils. The Board consists
of fifteen officers who meet once a week to plan events and organize
RHA campus-wide programs. Throughout the year, the Executive Board
is a resource for each Hall Council. As campus-wide programs occur,
the Executive Board looks to the Hall Councils for input, participation,
and enthusiasm. The Executive Board oversees the everyday business
of RHA. Meet your Executive Board!
The Executive Council is composed of the Executive Board and the
Hall Council presidents and it serves as RHA’s legislative body.
The Executive Council exists to serve in the best interests of all
residents. The Executive Board and hall presidents meet once a week
to keep a steady dialogue between the Halls to ensure that the voices
and concerns of the students are heard and that all events go according
to plan.
At the beginning of every year, each residence hall nominates and
elects its own group of students to serve as a council. These members
work
together
to
orchestrate activities for their fellow hallmates and work to
improve the community and life in the halls. The purpose of the
Hall Councils is to conduct the legislative and executive business
of each residence hall. These councils are responsible for the
distribution and expenditure of funds allocated to them by the
RHA Executive Board and College Council. These funds are spent
on building-wide programs and services that promote community,
resident education and building spirit. Programs such as study
breaks, themed parties, fundraisers and educational discussions
are held. The goal of each Hall Council is to serve the interests
of the residents, to address any concerns, and to plan events and
programs to suit their needs. Meet the individual hall councils.
