Programs and Funding

The Association of Residence Halls hosts a variety of programs each year on campus. You can visit our Instagram page for photos of past events.

Move-in

ARH sponsors and hosts the annual Move-In program for incoming freshmen. Last year, ARH recruited over 200 volunteers, or “Curb Birds”, to unload incoming students' vehicles, direct traffic, assist with elevators, give out wooden carts, and more.

Co-Programming

As the Association of Residence Halls, we understand that students have a wide variety of interests. To support the residents here on campus, we aim to promote and collaborate with other on campus organizations that offer programs in the residence halls to help our residents learn, grow, as well as have fun.

Funding

ARH provides funding for residential events.
