VALDOSTA – Joshua Arrington, a Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø student, was voted the Georgia Residence Hall Organization (GRHO) director for the 2014-2015 academic year at a conference in Atlanta on March 22.
“From the moment I stepped foot on Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø's campus, I was being shaped as a leader by the people around me,” said Arrington. “My environment and different events drove me to become a better leader and to help people. This year I had a lot of support from the executive board, Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø Housing and my advisors. I couldn’t do any of it without their support.”
Arrington is a third-year anthropology major and dance minor at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø with hopes to become a forensic anthropologist. He currently serves as the national communications coordinator for the Residence Hall Association (RHA) at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø.
As national communications coordinator, Arrington represents the Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø RHA at regional and state conferences and boardrooms, physically and online through Skype. His responsibilities include coordinating all conference related items such as travel plans and spirit items. He also assists in writing bids and letters of recommendation for various RHA awards at the state, regional and national level.
Nebrisha Askew will become Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø’s next national communications coordinator when Arrington officially takes the GRHO director seat.
Arrington looks forward to working with the new executive board and advisors as GRHO director. He hopes to help solve problems by increasing communications between different RHAs in Georgia through Skype chats with different RHA presidents with a goal to learn from one another.
GRHO is a student-led organization that promotes leadership training, honoring diversity and engaging student leaders. GRHO pledges to support and advocate the interests of Georgia college and university residents.
