PURPOSE
RHA was created to make sure that Residence Halls are the best they can possibly be regarding aesthetics, functionality, and the living-learning experience of the Residents, while helping to build and strengthen student leaders on campus interested in tackling their peers’ concerns about the Residence Halls. RHA strives to increase retention for USF St. Petersburg and the housing community and provide excellent educational opportunities for our students.
RHA is designed as a student-run organization advised by the Residence Life Coordinator. The positions within RHA are President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Programming Chair, Marketing Chair, National Communications Coordinator, and National Communications Coordinator in Training along with the Floor Representatives.
