What is MORHA as an organization?
What schools are involved in MORHA?
MORHA, or the Michigan Organization of Residence Hall Associations, is a state-wide organization dedicated to fostering communication and networking between the different residence hall organizations in universities across Michigan. By providing a strong framework of communication through meetings, conferences, shared resources, and different networking efforts, MORHA helps to develop leaders across the state as well as make the on-campus living experience a more dynamic and exciting environment.
For more information on MORHA as an organization please visit: http://michiganorha.wordpress.com/
There are multiple universities and colleges across Michigan who are part of MORHA. Any student group who governs, provides, and/or programs for their residential body is eligible for membership. Throughout the years membership in MORHA has varied depending on the state and structure of the different member schools, but currently MORHA is proud to have Central Michigan University, Davenport University, Eastern Michigan University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, Saginaw Valley State University, the University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University as member schools.
