As RHA president, I want to focus on meeting the expectations students have for their Emory careers. Recently, RHA has focused on the freshman experience, with the Greek and Clairmont communities losing their voice in the process. Many of our programs do not cater to events that all Emory residents want to participate in. RHA has not taken advantage of its unique structure with both programming and advocacy aspects together. By utilizing both, we can produce the programs and experience that students want. First, by assessing feedback from residents, we can base our programming schedule around that information. I am energetic, creative and determined. I have served as Dobbs Hall President, Greek Liason and VP of Advocacy on RHA. In that time, I have been a part of programming and advocacy, creating a memorable Dobbs’ Friday Night Lights Fall Fiesta, worked on the Phoenix Plan and helped develop programs within dining and athletics.
The Emory Wheel was founded in 1919 and is currently the only independent, student-run newspaper of Emory University. The Wheel publishes weekly on Wednesdays during the academic year, except during University holidays and scheduled publication intermissions.
The Wheel is financially and editorially independent from the University. All of its content is generated by the Wheel’s more than 100 student staff members and contributing writers, and its printing costs are covered by profits from self-generated advertising sales.
