**RLAs are senior students that provide leadership, advice, and support for students on hall.  They also help with the day to day running of the hall by taking check, checking housekeeping, and hosting some activities.  Please remember that they are students, not professional staff members; please direct any questions or concerns about hall to Melani directly and not the RLAs.
