Residence Halls Association (RHA) is MSU’s on-campus student government for students living in the residence halls. RHA serves as a bridge between residents, the university community, and university administration, including Residence Education and Housing Services (REHS), by elevating the experiences, concerns, and priorities of on-campus residents. Through the General Assembly (GA), representatives from hall governments, recognized neighborhood and campus-wide caucuses, and other registered student organizations bring forward issues affecting residential life on campus.
RHA supports residents through advocacy, funding, leadership development, free services, programs, and events. RHA also provides sponsorship and funding opportunities to registered student organizations that contribute to the broader MSU campus community, including CORES and CAMS groups, many of which participate in or hold seats in the General Assembly. Available services may include free equipment rentals such as projectors, karaoke equipment, Xboxes, and Nintendo Switches.
Students living in MSU residence halls who pay the semester RHA tax are RHA constituents. Constituents may participate through their hall government or caucus, attend open GA meetings, make public comment, petition RHA, and access RHA’s services and programming.
