Residence Hall Council

Volunteer Position

All residents are members of Residence Hall Council (RHC) but each resident can choose how active she/he wishes to be in the organization. RHC plans and organizes social events and programs and coordinates Resident Student Forum. Student Forum is a chance for residents to voice ideas and concerns regarding hall policies, dining services, housekeeping and facilities. RHC is responsible for annual social programs such as Haunted Ursuline and Kids-N- Sibs Overnight and most recently, Powder Puff football tournaments. The RHC Executive Board will be elected by the residents each year at the end of spring semester. Executive Board positions include: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and Public Relations Liaison.

Peer Judicial Board

Volunteer Position

The Peer Judicial Board helps in governance of the halls. When violations of policies and procedures occur, the board is convened to arbitrate the situation. Through getting students involved in the judicial process, residents are able to maintain a high level of community. A nine member board is selected on a per case basis by randomly selecting students not involved in the judicial situation. The Director of Residence Life oversees the board.
