About Us

RHA strives to meet the diverse interests of all residents. As such, all of our halls hold regular meetings, where residents can gain a forum for their ideas. RHA serves as a communication line for residential students to meet other residents from the various residence halls on campus, as well as across the state and nation. It is a way for students to become actively involved in the residential community, develop leadership skills, communicate ideas, voice the opinions and concerns of their respective halls, plan both hall and campus activities, and make sure that students have a voice on the policies and issues that affect them.

Advocacy

One of the primary roles of RHA is to serve as an advocate for students living on campus. Advocacy takes many forms, forms, including assessment of resident needs and interests, personal meetings with university staff members, and promotion of resident interests on various university committees and boards.

Why Does RHA Advocate For Residents?

  • Direct connection with the Residential Life & Housing staff and administration.
  • Deep understanding of Residential Life & Housing policies.
  • Electoral mandate from on-campus residents.
  • Proximity to constituents (i.e., the residents).
 

How Do We Advocate?

  • Figure out what residents need, not just what they want.
  • Make sure residents know what RHA does and how to utilize RHA's services to their optimal benefit.
  • Seek out opportunities to meet with administrators and other student leaders.
  • Have an idea for something you'd like to see on campus or a policy you'd like to see changed? Contact us with your ideas at rha@vcu.edu.
