Conferences

Campus conference: Texas State Hall Council Conference

RHA hosts its own conference every September for residents who want to get involved in their hall council organizations (and/or RHA). The Hall Council Conference prepares students for the year and offers networking opportunities.

Regional and National Conferences

Residential students have the opportunity to attend various conferences with RHA throughout the year. Conference locations change every year, and thus, so do their websites. However, the SWACURH website can be a great source of information on regional conferences.
