Student Leadership

Hall Governments and RHA 

Hall governments provide students in each hall a connection between the Residence Hall Association and their respective hall. At least one Resident Assistant and the Hall Coordinator advise each Hall government. The advisors merely give feedback; otherwise the government is fully run by the students that have been elected by the other residence in the halls. Each hall government is composed of six positions that are outlined in the RHA constitution as: president, vice president, business manager, treasurer, and two RHA representatives. The hall coordinator may add other positions as see fit for the success of that particular hall government. The ultimate goal of the hall government is to have students be the voice of their peers and to help RHA in providing a fun living environment on the campus of ECU.

RHA (Resident Hall Association)

Residence Hall Association, RHA, is the student run organization that represents all students that live on campus. The purpose of RHA is to make sure that the students have a prominent voice on the campus and to provide an enriched living experience full of social, educational, and service opportunities throughout the academic year. The duty of the RHA representatives from each hall is to express the concerns of the students from that hall and to serve as the messenger to RHA from the halls. RHA consists of an executive board, a general assembly, and the general body. The executive board is advised by an Assistant Director of Campus Living and a Graduate Assistant that resides in a residence hall. Six students that previously held positions in their hall government form the executive board; that also still live on campus. The six positions consist of a president, vice president, business manager, parliamentarian, national communications coordinator, and marketing manager.
