If you're a student who wants to see more fun and engaging opportunities and/or meaningful changes in your housing community or neighborhood, your Area Council is the perfect place to get involved! 

 

Have you ever thought about hosting an event that you completely planned with a group or on your own? Want to host events that are specifically catered to your housing community or neighborhood? 

Area Councils are the perfect place to get started. Brought to you by the Resident Housing Association (RHA), Area Councils are a way for you to earn service-learning hours while also enhancing your leadership skills. Area Councils are housed within all there housing areas on campus: South Village (two Area Councils), North Lake Village, and West Lake Village.   

*Area Councils are available to all students who live within on-campus housing. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT ASSISTANT TO JOIN! In fact, if you were an RA, you would not be able to join, but you can request funding for different events/programs. Email us if you have any questions about that.* 

Not only would you be able to advocate for yourself, but you will also be able to speak for your community. There are various positions within Area Councils. 

  • Area Administrator (one per council) 
  • Leads weekly Area Council Meetings 
  • Creates bills for events and initiatives 
  • Oversees budget of the respective Area Council 
  • Community Engagement Coordinators (amount determined by community) 
  • Attends weekly Board of Governors meetings 
  • Listens to and represents residential interests and community needs 
  • Ventures into the housing community to connect with residents 
  • Event Coordinators 
  • Plans and markets events from start to finish (flyers, social media, budgets, etc.) 

 

*For all of these positions, RHA has the tools for you to succeed. We have templates and our own personal experience with Area Council. Please do not let your lack of knowledge stop you from being in something great!*
