RHA Services Update – Adapting to COVID-19

We are still providing virtual programming and introducing pick-up programs for our residents.

Our virtual Zoom programs provide residents the opportunity to participate virtually, socialize with their peers, and have a chance to learn something new. While our social media programs are designed to passively educate and engage residents through campaigns and contents.

Introducing our pick-up programs, they can include goodie bags containing supplies for a program and an infographic designed to passively educate residents on various topics. Some pick-up programs feature an online Zoom component where residents can do activities with the provided supplies in the goodie bags, together. Residents pick-up their goodie bags via their housing office.

Advocacy Expand

All advocacy work and Coordinating Board meetings have moved virtually.

The RHA Executive Board has created two advocacy committees to meet resident’s needs that we have identified this year through our feedback forms; Community-Wide Development & Safety and Wellness.

The Community-Wide Development Committee was created to find ways to engage residents with their community, increase feelings of connection to campus, peers, and ownership of their home through developing wide-scale and community-specific initiatives.
The Safety & Wellness Committee was created to help facilitate a safe & healthy living environment for residents while adhering to UCI’s Covid policies and propose new initiatives to ensure well-being of residents’ physical health, emotional wellbeing and environmental safety.
