Leadership and Mentoring Opportunities
Hall Council:
Hall council members are students within each hall who are committed to resident participation in leadership, activity planning, and decision making which benefits the residents and their communities. As a hall council member, you can also become involved with the Residence Hall Association (RHA) as a senator for your residence hall. For more info call (970) 491-4769.
Residence Hall Association:
If you decide to stay in the halls for a second year and you're ready for the next step after hall council, you can run for the Residence Hall Association (RHA). RHA encourages communication between all residence halls and provides a source of funding for all activities. Each hall elects two to four senators to act as their representative to RHA. RHA is a great way to get involved, meet new people, and learn more about Colorado State University. For more information visit the RHA website at www.rha.colostate.edu.
NRHH:
National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is an
organization made up of the top 1% of the residence hall population
whose members go above and beyond to make residential life better through
recognition.
Leadership Development Community:
The Leadership Development Community was created in response to students’ requests for an on-campus living environment that would be supportive of leadership opportunities. Colorado State University’s
