The Residence Hall Association will host a holiday drive on Dec. 8.

The drive will take place in all residence halls and will be collecting coats and toys for needy children up to age 13.

The Residence Hall Association will meet at 5 p.m. today in Stevenson Hall.

Members of the RHA will be bringing their purchased items to be placed in boxes that will eventually be given to Rachel Fisher, the interim director of the Student Community Service.

The RHA President Andrew Lilek expressed his excitement for the upcoming events until the end of the semester.

“I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished as an organization this semester,” Lilek said. “I know we will be just as successful in the spring.”

The members of the Commissions Council will be deciding on new candidates for the Illinois Residence Hall Association by the end of the semester.
