UAB Residence Hall Association took a group of 7 delegates to

the University of Georgia for the regional SAACURH conference

during the weekend of October 29-31st. At the conference UAB

delegates attended different programing sessions. During these

sessions UAB delegates gained valuable ideas to bring back to

campus and share with other members of RHA. We also sent

delegates to the boardroom to vote on proposals from other

schools.

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) of the University of Alabama at Birmingham is the campus-wide

residence hall government made up of students living in the residence halls. There are 5 executive board

officers who are elected by their constituents or appointed by the senate body. The general body is made

up of representatives from each of the 5 residence halls. Our purpose is to provide a voice for all residents

living in the halls and to represent the residents to Student Housing and other UAB administrators. As a

UAB Housing resident, you are automatically a member!
