Fairfield University IRHA

The Residential Community Councils (RCC's) are the foundation of IRHA. They provide the publicity, organization, and act in many ways as the eyes and ears of IRHA as a whole. Both the RCC's and the Executive Board make up the General Assembly, the governing branch of IRHA.

It is the responsibility of each RCC to raise the concerns of their residents to the General Assembly and any other proper authority, as well as provide programming to improve the social, physical, and any other aspect or residential life.
