Questions or Concerns
If problems regarding housing, classes, or personal issues arise, it is easy to find someone to talk to. The Community Coordinator (CC) and Resident Assistants (RA) are available for residence assistance. The Resident Assistants are good listeners and are here to give you guidance in personal, academic or residence hall related areas, or will give you an appropriate referral. Upper classmen will offer assistance and you will find them to be a good resource for advice.

Residence Hall Activities
In addition to house activities, there are many residence hall functions and activities which offer a relaxing break from studying. Watch the bulletin boards, talk to your RA or other students in the hall, or attend a Wadsworth Hall Student Association (WHSA) meeting. The more activities in which you are involved, the more rewarding your experience at Michigan Tech will be.

WHSA is the center of all residence hall activities. The council holds regular meetings that are open to all residents. WHSA organizes residence hall activities, sets most of the residence hall policies, and finds the best way to use the money from the residence hall social fund.
