Residence Hall Association

Election Process: Community Council members are elected democratically by their peers through a process that typically involves gathering a certain number of signatures to demonstrate support. For example, to run for a position on the Community Council, candidates may need to collect 20 signatures from fellow residents endorsing their candidacy. This ensures that candidates have the backing of their community and are committed to representing their interests effectively. 

Positions on Each Community Council: Community Councils typically consist of:

President: The President serves as the leader of the Community Council, responsible for setting goals, coordinating activities, and representing the council to external stakeholders. They work closely with other council members to ensure the effective functioning of the council and the fulfillment of its objectives. 

Vice President: The Vice President supports the President in their duties and assumes leadership responsibilities in their absence. They collaborate with the President and other council members to plan and execute initiatives, address community concerns, and promote engagement among residents. 

By electing dedicated individuals to these positions, Community Councils can effectively represent the interests of residents, facilitate positive change, and create a sense of belonging and connection within our residential communities. If you're interested in running for a position on your Community Council or learning more about how you can get involved, please reach out to your Hall Director or Resident Assistant for more information. 

Thank you for your interest in using the rock located on campus! Follow the steps below to sign up and request permission to paint the rock:

Email RHA Advisor: Send an email to rha@nku.edu to request permission to use the rock. In your email, include your name, contact information, preferred date and time for painting the rock, and any specific message or design you plan to paint. 
 
Provide Your Own Supplies: Please note that you are responsible for providing your own paint, brushes, and any other supplies needed for painting the rock. Ensure that you have all necessary materials before beginning your painting project. 
 
Paint the Entire Rock White: Once you have received approval to use the rock, you must paint the entire rock white when you are finished with your design. Failure to do so will result in a charge of $50. Before painting, make sure you have the appropriate white paint and brushes. 
 
Provide Cost/Fund Center and GL: Before receiving final approval to paint the rock, you will need to provide a cost/fund center and GL (General Ledger) code. You will be charged a fine of $50 if you don’t paint the rock back to white after you’re finished using it. 
 
Please adhere to these guidelines and procedures to ensure a smooth and successful experience when using the rock. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the RHA Advisor for help.
