Mission Statement

The Residential Leadership Association is an organization that was founded in the interest of creating a more connected and spirited residence hall living experience. Its mission is to seek out and motivate emerging leaders within the residence halls, as well as create strong communities within each residential building. Through programming, conferences and other leadership initiatives, the Residential Leadership Association works to make a better experience for first year and upper-class students throughout campus living.

What is RLA?

The Residential Leadership Association represents all students living within the residence halls. At such a large university, it is often difficult to feel part of a community. However, RLA has made it its personal responsibility to build those connections. This organization makes an effort to support all the residents of UMass Amherst. It provides various leadership opportunities such as leadership conferences and roundtable discussions. It also puts together innovative programming that builds the bridges necessary to create a stronger community throughout campus.

Founded in 2003, RLA strives to make a positive impact on this campus. RLA prides itself in attracting talented individuals who want to make a difference. These students perpetuate the idea that the Residential Leadership Association is: Building Leaders With Pride!
