Community Involvement
University of South Alabama
Residence Hall Association (RHA)
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) was founded in 1984 at South Alabama and currently represents the 2,400 students who live on campus. RHA is the governing and programming board for all residence halls. This organization consists of the executive board officers, representatives from each community and committee members. Input from all RHA members is utilized to develop campus-wide social events, respond to the issues and needs of residential students, and enhance the total residence hall living experience. RHA members also have the opportunity to serve as delegates to state, regional and national leadership conferences. RHA provides an excellent opportunity for you to get involved on campus and gain leadership experience!
