Residence Hall Association (RHA)
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is made up of individual representatives from each of the residence halls. RHA delegates are elected by their peers in their halls to act as each hall's representative in this campus wide organization. RHA is one of the most active and visible groups on the WTAMU campus. RHA has been honored several times as the campus organization of the year.


Hall Council
Residents in each of the residence halls have the opportunity to participate in their Hall Council. Through Hall Council, residents are given the opportunity to participate in the governance of their hall. Hall Council delegates address various issues which concern the residents and propose changes in hall practices which might better meet the needs of the residents. Hall Council delegates are also given the opportunity to participate in the planning and carrying out of various hall programs and events.


Resident Assistants (RA)
Each living area in the residence halls houses a resident assistant (RA). These individuals are available to assist the residents. RAs provide programming, information and enforce University rules and regulations in the halls. WTAMU has 57 resident assistants hired by the Department of Residential Living. The average RA is responsible for a living area housing 25 residents. RAs participate in job training and orientation throughout the year and each RA receives a room and meal plan compensation, as well as a monthly stipend. For more information, refer to the RA Selection Process or contact the Office of Residential Living.
