RHA Events/Activities
Residence Hall Association

One of the goals of the Residence Hall Association is to bring students together in order to form a campus community. One way that RHA does this is by providing a series of social and philanthropy events for UNL residence hall students to participate in free or at a reduced cost. Some of our annual events are listed on this page, however, if you have any ideas for possible events feel free to Let Us Know!

Turkey Bowl-A-Thon
Held in November
The Turkey Bowl-A-Thon is an annual event conducted by the Student Action Team (SAT) held in November. The purpose of the event is to raise funds for various agencies and help educated UNL students to the needs of these agencies. Last year the proceeds went to benefit the Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach which serves lunch and dinner every day to the less fortunate, as well as providing outreach services that include assisting people in need of shelter and clothing. Participants are guaranteed to have a great time at this event!

Stay Tuned for information conserning the next Turky Bowl-A-Thon coming November 2008!

Angel Tree Program
Held in December
The Angel Tree Program is conducted annually by the Student Action Team (SAT) in partnership with the Salvation Army. The program invites UNL students and organizations to chose a tag from trees placed outside designated Dinning Halls around campus during peak evening hours. The tags contain the information of a child (age and sex) who is in need of a brighter holiday season. Student and groups are encouraged to take a tag from one of these trees and shop for a gift of the described child and then returned to designated campus locations to be distributed to children around the Nebraska Area.

Husker Idol
Held in April
RHA's Student Action Team (SAT) presents the Fifth Annual Husker Idol.  Students can compete for Husker Idol, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's version of hit TV Show American Idol! Think you have singing skills? Or lack of? Come show them off to the campus at Husker Idol. Last year all proceeds went to benefit the Culture Center Coalition (CCC), a group of students and organizations to raise awareness of the need for a new Culture Center at UNL.

Campus Concerts
Held throughout the year
The Social Committee of the Residence Hall Association sponsors many different events throughout the year including bringing local and national mucial acts to UNL. These events are free to all students who want to come and have a great time. RHA partnered with the University Program Council (UPC) to bring Sam Beam of Iron & Wine in March.
