Hall Council
RHSA, in representing and providing leadership opportunities for the 5,400 students living on campus, has seven autonomous hall councils to represent the different halls. The hall councils provide an excellent opportunity to get involved in your community, meet other motivated student leaders, and to plan fun programs for the residents. Fall Quarter is the primary recruitment time for Hall Council, with the main elections being the second week of the quarter. However, due to shifting schedules and class loads, positions open throughout the year.To see which positions are currently open click the link to your building on the left, contact the hall president for an application!

Other Organizations
Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW)
Head At-Large RHSA Senator: Mike Weiler
RHSA has 44 Senators in the ASUW. It is important that every seat is filled so that those in the halls have a powerful voice in issues that directly affect all students, such as tuition and academic policy. As a Senator, you would be insuring the halls their place in the university community. The ASUW Student Senate is comprised of students from campus organizations, living groups (RHSA), and the ASUW diversity commissions. Every week the Student Senate gathers to discuss issues important to students at the University of Washington and establish resolutions of student opinion. These resolutions help guide our elected leaders and dedicated volunteers as they represent us on Shared Governance Committees. All students are welcome to submit legislation for the Senate to debate, and while only Senators may vote, there are openings available for students interested in serving a term as a Senator.
