About the Residence Hall Association

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the student-led governing body of all residence halls on campus, similar to a Student Government Association. We strive to connect students to the UNC campus and provide leadership opportunities. We host events and aim to create an enjoyable experience for students during their time in our residence halls.

Student organizations can also request funding from RHA to support an event or activity you are hosting through the 2023-24 RHA Funding Proposal Form

What RHA Does

RHA is housed under the same department as RAs (Housing and Residential Education), but our job descriptions are quite different. RHA is the voice of the 3,000+ students living on campus. Our main concerns are improving the on-campus living experience by advocating for change and improvements and providing free programming.

We also offer leadership development in a variety of formats, including leadership positions, opportunities to attend leadership retreats and opportunities to attend regional and national conferences.

Outside of Meetings

RHA does fundraising for conference costs, philanthropy for the university and the Greeley community and also sponsors free events for all students to attend. We also attend national conferences to represent UNC and network with other schools. RHA offers several student-run committees.

At the end of the year we put on a banquet to celebrate the accomplishments for each hall, members of RHA and students who have made a difference in the residence halls.
