Organizations and Programs
Judicial Board (J-Board)
The Residence Hall Coeducational Judicial Board (or J-Board) has jurisdiction on matters pertaining to violations of existing rules and regulations within or around the residence halls. The J-Board functions not as a court of law, but rather as a body to review alleged violations of University and/or residence hall rules and regulations.
The J-Board consists of a minimum of six members, selected randomly from a Judicial Council of representatives from all residence halls. The members of the Council are elected by their fellow students and are not staff members of the University. J-Board makes recommendations and assesses sanctions that will most effectively benefit the students as well as protect the rights of all on-campus students.
J-Code 2024-25
Society of Housing Leaders (SoHL)
The Society of Housing Leaders (SoHL), formerly known as NRHH, is a Housing & Residence Life-sponsored honorary based on the values of leadership, service, scholarship, recognition, and inclusivity. SoHL seeks to recognize and honor students who have shown outstanding dedication to each of these values on our campus within the residence halls. SoHL is an active organization that provides leadership opportunities, programs, projects, and activities to all on-campus residents including leadership retreats, recognition weeks, and the distribution of care packages.
Students who display exemplary leadership ability in their halls are encouraged to apply for SoHL. New members are selected each semester from applications received and reviewed by a selection committee.
