The
Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the resident government body for
students living in the Residence Halls. As a resident, you are already a
member! A portion of the activity fees collected from each resident is
allocated to RHA, which allows the organization to host programs,
sponsor philanthropy events, and build community.
Citizenship
RHA works closely with
Williams Campus Housing (WCH), our parent organization, to relay
resident input. RHA serves as the official voice of the residents, and
uses this voice to work toward residential improvement.
Achievement
RHA promotes student
development and works to give residents leadership and networking
opportunities, such as local, regional and national conferences. RHA
also works actively to promote educational opportunities in and around
the Residence Halls and Villages.
Engagement
The RHA is
made up of local hall and village representatives; RHA Committees work
on residential projects, collaborative campus events, and community
service projects. Current
committees include:
-
Recycling Task Force
-
Spring Fling Committee
-
Parents' Weekend Committee
-
Relay for Life Committee
-
Leadership Development
Committee
-
Take Back the Night Event

The Sun Devil Way: Achievement, Engagement & Responsibility
Understanding that it is a privilege to live on campus, ASU has set the expectation that students will be active participants in their communities. For the 2008 fall semester, we are soliciting a minimum of 20 community engagement hours per student.
This is a win-win proposition for students:
- Studies suggest that involved students are higher achievers and are more likely to graduate from college;
- Community engagement is an excellent resume booster;
- Participation in service-oriented projects fulfills scholarship requirements and allows you to give back to your community;
- Involved students will get priority status for housing renewals for the next academic year;
- Being an active community member is FUN and makes the most of your college experience
So, start thinking about how you would like to get involved; this is an opportunity of a lifetime! To get a jump start, download the required form that you will turn in at move-in, by clicking HERE.
