 NRHH
is an organization which works closely with the
Association of Residence Halls in making the
residence halls a better place to live. NRHH is a
service of the National Association of College and
University Residence Halls, Inc and is designed to
give national as well as local recognition to
students making outstanding contributions to their
residence halls. The National office firmly
believes in the value of student involvement in
residence hall life - in the educational, social
and athletic realms.
Realizing
the value of participation, students contribute
vast amounts of their personal time in an effort
to make their own college experiences more
meaningful to them. This effort not only benefits
them but the entire residence hall system as well.
NRHH
exists to honor these students, and is the only
nationwide organization that recognizes residence
hall leaders. Membership is limited to one percent
(1%) of the residence hall population. The
nomination and selection processes happen yearly
in April. Shortly thereafter in May, the annual
NRHH Banquet is held to recognize residence hall
students who have provided truly outstanding
service to the residence community with several
different awards, including several scholarships
which are given out at this time as well.
NRHH
members provide various training workshops for the
members of residence hall government which
includes the fall leadership workshop. They also
raise money for the NRHH scholarship and, of
course, provide recognition to those individuals
who provide outstanding leadership with the
residence halls. Additionally, NRHH works on many
projects, including the aforementioned annual
leadership workshop for hall government members
and the “Finals Exam Survival Kits”.
Should
you have any questions about NRHH, feel free to
contact the Housing Office, the ARH President or
the NRHH President, listed on page 3 in the
Student Planner and Handbook.
The NRHH colors are blue and white
The
blue symbolizes loyalty:
loyalty to purpose and idea. The
white signifies a blank page: a
page on which a student writes the
successes and experiences that fill
their days in the residence halls.
The Symbol of NRHH
The
symbol for NRHH is that of a diamond
surrounding the letters of the
organization, and the three
interconnected lines, the chain of
leadership. The diamond, the world's
most precious gem, signifies the
value and beauty one finds in the
residence halls experience.
The
first link of the chain represents
caring. Leaders are people who care.
They are concerned about themselves
and others, and are committed to
making things better.
The
second link signifies dedication.
Part of a leader's commitment is the
dedication to cause which they
display. Dedication is an important
part of the involvement required to
be truly effective.
The
third link represents participation.
True leaders participate fully in
their academic pursuits, their
friendships, their activities, and
their lives. Leaders don't sit on
the sidelines, but are competent
team players.
Together
the unbroken chain symbolizes the
membership of NRHH. As leaders we
are interconnected as caring and
dedicated participants in the
community of your university.
