Residence Hall Association
What is RHA?
Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the governing body of the 12 Hall Councils at Fredonia. The purpose of RHA is to simply represent the collective interest of those who live on campus. This is done by presenting the concerns of the residents to the appropriate entities, providing access to developmental opportunities for its constituents, and to set the example of what it entails to create an environment on campus that welcomes all with open arms.
How to get involved?
If you are interested in getting involved with RHA, all students are welcome at the general board meetings held every Wednesday at 8:00 pm in the Grissom Hall Smart Classroom. You can also find various events linked at the calendar below.
