I can still remember the first time I heard about RHA at the Activities Fair my freshman year: the moment I got hooked. Formerly the President of Fevans and as VP of Programming this year, I committed myself to the mission of fostering collaboration at Emory. Through approaching organizations like the Student Hardship Fund, SPC and the Student Alumni Board to co-program, I helped make RHA more approachable and built relationships with prominent leaders that leave me with the tools needed to achieve my vision as president. Next year, I will continue this collaborative trend to plan bigger and better programs and use the relationships I spent this year building to tap into the unique influences and problem-solving skill sets other organizations have to offer from an advocacy perspective. Ultimately RHA and the organizations it works with will better and more effectively echo the needs and desires of our residents. For me, it’s all about enhancing their experience.

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.
