ABOUT US

​We are Ohio University’s Residence Hall Association, formerly known as the Residents' Action Council (tRAC).  We are a registered student organization with the Campus Involvement Center and work closely with the Department of Residential Housing in the Division of Student Affairs.

Membership and Representation

All students living in the 36 residence halls of Ohio University are invited and welcome to join the Residence Hall Association. RHA serves as a liaison between our hall councils and our regional organization, CAACURH (Central Atlantic Association of College and University Residence Halls). RHA is meant to act as a resource for hall councils to rely on. We want to foster and build those inclusive communities that lead to memorable experiences for our students. We want to emulate our student body and reflect the amazing community they have all worked so hard to build here.

Outreach

The Residence Hall Association strives to unite the students in the residence halls by giving them an active voice and improving relations with the Ohio University administration. RHA provides and supports social, cultural, recreational and educational programming for on-campus students.

History

Ohio University’s Residence Hall Association, or RHA, was founded in 1994 under the direction of Dr. James Sand. Prior to this time, each of the university’s three residential greens had its own green council. In 2022, the Residents' Action Council, or tRAC, decided to change its name to RHA following the pandemic in order to align more closely with the national standard for on campus housing organizations.
