Bob Shaughnessy, Staff Reporter

The Resident Hall Association will reveal its plans for this semester’s activities at its meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday in Andrew’s Hall.

Kadie Peterson, RHA vice president, will talk about Residents on Campus Fest events.

ROCFest is the largest event of the year for RHA, in which residence halls and Greek Court members will compete against one another in competitive activities.

The events will begin on Sept. 22 and continue through Sept. 26.

A scavenger hunt will kick off the activities.

Peterson said the scavenger hunt helps bring the community together.

“It is the biggest community builder that we have at the beginning of the year,” Peterson said. “We have different events that I cannot reveal right now.”

Peterson has been an RHA representative for two years.

This is her first year as vice president and she said she has put a lot of work into setting events for ROCFest.

“ROCFest is my baby; I have been working on it all summer,” Peterson said.

Another event coming in October is the Great Lakes Affiliation of Colleges and Universities Residence Halls conference.

This year, RHA will attend the GLACURH conference at Indiana State University, and will choose which members will attend.

Mallory Winkeler, the national communications coordinator, will discuss this topic.

RHA will also review the how many people will be placed on the Bond Revenue Committee.

The committee will decide room and board rates for next year.

Christina Lauff, RHA president, said the first meeting of the year will have plenty of announcements about upcoming events.

Homecoming activities and spring events will also be discussed at the meeting.
