The key element in ensuring a democratic, well-organized living environment is resident's participation in the Residence Hall Association (RHA). RHA is composed of an executive cabinet and delegates from the on-campus residence halls. Affiliated with the National Association of College and University Residence Halls and recognized by the Penn College Student Government Association, RHA implements a variety of programs to meet the needs of on-campus students and serves as a voice for residents in housing concerns and issues.
RHA is an excellent opportunity to become involved with College issues and activities. Through RHA, residents can make a difference and have fun at the same time. Students who are interested in becoming active in the Association or are considering running for a position, should see their RA, stop by the Residence Hall Association office in the Bush Campus Center, Rm. 120 or call ext. 7339.
