The Residence Hall Association, or RHA, is the student-run governmental organization for Temple’s on-campus residential population. In this capacity, RHA exists as a hybrid entity at the junction of the Department of Student Activities and the Department of Housing & Residential Life.

Working under the dual-purpose of Student Organization and Residential Life component, RHA offers the opportunity for leadership, programming, and community through its 9 Residence Hall Community Councils, serving as a constant reminder that success begins, first and foremost, in the home. We are Temple RHA and our three pillars are: advocate, lead, and engage.

The RHA executive board is comprised of an executive president, vice president for internal affairs, vice president for external affairs, secretary, treasurer, and National Communications Chair. RHA is affiliated regionally with the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, and recognized nationally by the National Affiliate of Colleges and University Residence Halls.
