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. in the Reitz Senate Chambers during the Fall and Spring semesters. 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!
