RHA programs
RHA programs include such annual events as: Welcome Jacks, Parents Day, Casino Night, Holiday Extravaganza, and Stay @ SFA Weekend. In addition, several standing committees plan various types of activities. The degree to which a student gets involved in his or her hall activities or RHA depends only on the student's interests and goals.
The Welcome Jacks are a group of students, new to SFA, who are interested in getting involved on campus. Welcome Jacks get to move-in to the residence halls a day before all other residents, get to know the halls' officers and staff, help other residents move in, and participate in the Welcome Week activity that RHA hosts.
Parents Day is an event bringing hundreds of friends and family members to campus to experience a day in the life of their college student.
Come join us on Saturday, September 27, 2008.
