Inter-Residence Hall Association

The Inter-Residence Hall Association (IRHA) is a student organization at the University of Florida that represents all students living on campus. IRHA serves to ensure that all students living in residence halls feel welcome, safe, secure, and part of the UF community. The main pillars of IRHA are Community Building, Advocacy, and Member Development. IRHA seeks to support these pillars through campus-wide events and activities, advocating for residence hall improvements, facilitating residence hall Area Governments and special interest directorships, and representing residents to UF Housing and Residence Life and others.

General body meetings are held Mondays at 5:15 p.m. at the Reitz Union Senate Chambers. Anyone with an interest in IRHA and the housing community is invited to attend. You can learn more about IRHA and our events by following us on Facebook and Instagram!

Events

As a part of our mission to improve the lives of residents in the halls, IRHA and our Area Governments host a multitude of events throughout the year. The best way to find out about upcoming events is through our Instagram @UFIRHA.

Area Governments

Area Governments are facilitated by IRHA and serve to advocate and improve the experiences of the residents in their area through events and area improvement initiatives. Area Government executive board positions are an opportunity for students to represent their peers, gain leadership skills, and implement social activities and area improvements to enrich the residential experience. Area government applications are typically opened to all on-campus residents once a year at the start of the Fall semester.
