Each Residence Hall and the Apartments has its own Community Council which is run by the residents who live in the hall and is advised by the professional staff in that building. The purpose of the Community Councils are to better the living inside the specific hall through ventures such as facility improvement and hosting programs/events for the residents of the building.At every General Assembly meeting of the Residential Housing Association, each Community Council is expected to send multiple representatives who will then vote on policies and initiatives on behalf of their hall. These representatives will also keep the General Assembly informed of what is happening in their specific residence hall, and will relay communication from RHA back to their halls.
Community Councils are open to any resident in the building and is a great way to make connections on campus and develop as a leader. Each Community Council also has elected officers who run for positions at the beginning of the academic year such as President, Vice President, and Treasurer. Halls may also develop other positions that are specific to their needs and are appointed throughout the year.
