Selection Process:
The Residence Halls Association, under the guidance of the Assistant Director for Leadership Development and Training, will conduct a selection process to choose residence to participate in this committee. The selection committee will consist of the Executive President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Program Coordinator, and National Communication Coordinator of RHA. In October of every year, applications will be made available to all non-RHA residents. Once applications have been received, the selection committee will review the applications, conduct interviews, and render decisions.

Commitments and Responsibilities:
Each member of the committee is expected to be present for a committee meeting once per month. The committee will meet at a mutually agreeable time and location. Each member retains his or her membership for one academic year. At the beginning of the second semester, members will have the option of not returning. In the event that a member does not return for the second semester or relinquishes his or her position prior to the semester end, the selection committee will convene and render a solution.

While this is an open forum for the selected students to discuss issues with administration, it will be made clear to the committee that certain issues regarding Residential Life cannot be discussed due to matters of legality/privacy. The Associate Director for Judicial Affairs will make this determination.

All responsibilities for the members of the committee will be set forth as determined by the Executive Vice President of RHA, in consultation with the Assistant Director for Leadership Development and Training.
