Residence Hall Association
RHA, in an effort to maintain and upgrade the quality of life on campus, will aim to provide appropriate programming, establish and promote communication between residents and the rest of the Drew University Community and administer funds in a fair and equitable manner in order to meet the students’ needs.
RHA consists of an Executive Board, which oversees the daily functions of RHA, and acts as a guide for each Complex's Living Council. The Executive Board has four officers: the President, Vice President, Secretary, and the Treasurer. All of these positions act as a checks and balance.
Along with Living Council, RHA's goal is to enhance the living experience of the residents through various outlets and functions. While RHA runs under the Office of Residence Life, if a program is not hosted or sponsored by the Office of Residence Life, generally; its probably an RHA event!
If you would like to get involved, read about our Living Council and see if it is right for you!
