“(We) do not rest until all the bad things on campus are good, and all the good things are great,” Dobson said.

Over the past year, RHA has taken up on- and off-campus causes. This year marked the first smoke-free opening of dorms, Dobson said. He also said RHA improved leasing for off-campus students and food choices for those who live on campus, including more vegetarian options.

Dobson targeted improving safety as a goal for the next RHA president. He also mentioned the possibility of creating an RHA director of philanthropy. Other items such as student accountability and on-campus living were addressed.

“RHA is always going to be the voice for the on-campus students,” Dobson said. “We pride ourselves on tradition and consistency. We need to go beyond what our current (goals) are and look to maybe what we can do better.”
