Residence Halls Association

UCR RHA (Residence Halls Associations)

For the residents by the residents, the Residence Hall Association (RHA) ensures residents' needs are met, and advocates on behalf of students living in Glen Mor Campus Apartments, Pentland Hills, Lothian, Dundee, and Aberdeen-Inverness Residence Halls. RHA advises Housing Services in the development of Residence Hall policies, procedures, and facilities from the student's perspective. RHA is responsible for hosting large-scale programs and events for individuals living on campus. Our mission is to reach out to residents living across campus, and providing everyone with a safe, inclusive, and entertaining environment. We are passionate about what we do and are always looking for extra help, whether the help comes from joining councils within the Residence Halls or Campus Apartments, attending RHA meetings, or even approaching us personally and chatting. We are open to new ideas and are here to listen.

  • RHA serves as an avenue for student resident advocacy, leadership development, and resident generated programming for those within their communities.
  • RHA has weekly meetings within each council.
  • Each council is comprised of four chairs and senators with an elected student leader who is the Building President
  1. Chair of Programming
  2. Chair of Publicity
  3. Chair of Facilities
  4. Chair of Diversity and Inclusion

Additionally, there are four appointed Vice Presidents and an elected Executive President who recruit Assistants for Marketing, Spirit and Recognition, Technology, and Communications.
