There is no Residence Hall Association meeting in Taylor Hall Thursday because of the recent death of sophomore marketing major Brian Ford.

“RHA is canceled out of respect for those who worked with and knew Ford. Emotional health comes first,” RHA president Kevin Leverence said.

The meeting is also canceled because of a Project 21 forum. The forum is at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the University Ballroom.

The RHA executive board met Wednesday to work out the topics for meeting discussion before Winter Break.

The RHA will be appointing people to the Bond Revenue Committee for next semester. The Bond Revenue Committee decides what happens with room and board rates.

The applications for delegates to the Illinois Residence Hall Association conference will be announced soon. IRHA will be held at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.

The RHA will also be sending out the criteria for the Hall Council award, Leverence said.

“The award will recognize the hall council who has done the most to help their residents and who has impacted the campus in the most positive way,” Leverence said.

The award will be presented at the awards ceremony Dec. 12.

The meeting will be next Thursday in McKinney Hall at 5 p.m.
