Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Genetics and minors in Data Science and Psychology. This will be my third year being a part of RHA and I’m so excited to be returning again as president! I’m super passionate about this club and am so grateful for the amazing people that make it up. Outside of RHA, I conduct research in the Mao Lab, and am a part of the Cornell Healthcare Review, as well as Rho Psi Eta. In my free time, I love going for runs around campus and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, kickboxing, writing music/singing, and spending time with friends! I first became involved with RHA my freshman year as a representative for Barbara McClintock Hall and then had the privilege of being Vice President this past year. I am excited to further engage with RHA members and the rest of the residential community in this role!
My name is Matthew Kiviat and I am a junior from Maryland studying government and minoring in history in the College of Arts and Sciences. Apart from serving as the current Vice President of the Residence Hall Association, I serve as the Assistant Managing Editor for The Cornell Daily Sun and the Treasurer of Cornell Democrats. In my free time, I love running, taking pictures, and exploring nature around campus!
I'm a junior majoring in Civil Engineering. I enjoy running, reading, and watching TV shows and I'm open to new experiences! As the admin coordinator I make sure that emails are sent as well as ensure that all the Hall Councils are in good standing. I'm excited to create a sense of belonging and community at RHA and beyond!
I am a member of the class of 2028 who intends to major in government at the college of Arts and Sciences. Hailing from Northern Virginia, I enjoy participating in a variety of clubs around campus including the Cornell Chorale, Sports Business Society, and of course RHA! I also take interest in trivia, learning languages (especially Italian), and following my favorite sport teams. After graduation, my goal is to attend law school and see where I go from there. As Director of Programming, I look forward to help planning wonderful events around campus and give students a breather from the grind of Cornell! Stay tuned!!
I'm an undergraduate in the College of Engineering studying Applied & Engineering Physics. Besides academics, I'm an independent musician, and my hobbies include ping pong and tabletop games. I'm drawn to advocacy because I think it's important for students' voices to be amplified and for communities' needs to be met.
Hi! I'm Joanne, CAS '28 studying Economics and Psychology. I am excited to be the External Affairs Director of RHA and promote the amazing halls on campus! I was born in Denver, Colorado (Go Nuggets!), but grew up in Northern Virginia (Go Commanders!). I also have an identical twin sister who is also a Cornellian.. In my free time, I love to create content, stay active, and eat some good food. I love chill K-R&B and pop bands like Why Don't We (lol). I am excited to get to meet more people on Cornell's residential halls, and I hope you have a great time here!
My name is Julia Xiao, and I'm a sophomore from Massachusetts studying economics in the College of Arts and Sciences. At Cornell, I am involved with the Big Red Marching Band and Club Water Polo. Prior to joining the RHA, I have been the Treasurer of the Balch Hall Council. I look forward to this position because I want to help the Cornell RHA and represent it for outside conferences.
Jenn and Troy are advisors for the Residence Hall Association. Jenn is the Residence Hall Director (RHD) for Balch Hall and Troy is the RHD for Just About Music (JAM) and Holland International Living Center (HILC).
