What is RHA?

The Residence Halls Association (RHA) is a student-run organization made-up of SEMO’s on-campus population. You're a member just by living on campus.  

What do we do?  

• Provide a unified voice for students living in University housing  
• Encourage and facilitate inter-hall cooperation and engagement  
• Discuss concerns and advocate for improvements in residence halls  

Get Involved

General Body Meetings 

General Body meetings are bi-weekly meetings run by the executive board. These meetings are held to discuss issues and events going on in the residence halls and gain valuable leadership experiences. Any resident is free to attend any of these meetings. 

Time/Location: Tuesdays- 5:30 p.m., UC Terrace Room

Philanthropy Committee 

The philanthropy committee organizes and executes service-based projects and raises awareness for different causes. Examples are Ties for Hope and the Campus-Wide Cleanup. 

Recruitment, Retention, and Recognition Committee 

The RRR committee aims to build connections within RHA, recognize achievements, encourage students to join and return to RHA, and make advertisements for programs. Advertisements include paper flyers, posters, chalking, etc. 

Funding Board 

The Funding Board reviews and discusses allocations as a team, interviews those requesting the allocations, and votes on whether the allocations should be passed and for what amount.
