The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Residence Housing Association (RHA) will host executive board elections this month. RHA is the voice and representation of all residential students at SIUE. All on-campus residents are invited to be part of RHA. Students can advocate for and address the concerns of residents and provide programming to enhance the living environment in university housing.
Residents interested in running for an executive board position are required to attend one information session. Three sessions will be held from 7-8 p.m. on Monday, March 18, at Woodland Hall; Tuesday, March 19, at the Cougar Village Commons; and Thursday, March 21, at Evergreen Hall. Candidates will learn about the RHA mission, what executive board positions entail, campaign regulations, and have the opportunity to speak with current executive board members.
“Being involved in RHA, and specifically the executive board, has been a great experience,” said Mosannah Golden, senior speech communication major and RHA’s national/Illinois communications coordinator. “I’ve had the opportunity to grow as a leader and help my peers grow as leaders. Being involved is contagious, and it truly has made me feel as if I’m a part of a family at SIUE.”
