During a General Assembly meeting on Nov. 19, 2015, Western’s Residence Hall Association (RHA) and all Hall Governments met to discuss issues such as Hall Of The Year points, the budget, Turkey Baskets, and much more.
The Residence Hall Association was celebrating coming back from the Pacific Association of College and University Residence Halls (PACURH). A small group of members from Western represented the school at the conference this year.

As the group celebrated, Roz Lethe, ARA of Heritage Hall, and Ashley Cooper, ARA of the Barnum, Butler, Gentle and Landers quad on Western’s campus, presented a PowerPoint and educated the conference about No Frills 2017.
No Frills 2017 is an opportunity for Western Oregon to host a unique conference on weekend in February of 2017 to be decided.
No Frills is a business conference where Residence Hall Associations from across the west coast will meet and discuss bids and legislation. 150 people would be attending the conference, four representatives from each school, the Regional Board of Directors, and special guests.
If the school is chosen, the weekend will consist of meetings and talks broken up by meals, awards ceremonies, and team building activities.
The possibility of Western hosting the conference creates an opportunity for the university to show off some campus spirit and hospitality to other schools in the region.
Lethe and Cooper are looking for volunteer chairs to head committees dealing with the ceremonies, volunteer coordination, transportation and hospitality facilities, school spirit, and financing.
The group is currently looking for 18 chairs in total.
For more information about getting involved with the No Frills 2017 conference bid, contact Roz Lethe or Ashley Cooper via their WOU emails.
