The National Residence Hall Honorary

The National Residence Hall Honorary is a student organization that recognizes the top 1% of student leaders living in the residence halls. The Ithaca College chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary has been an active organization for the last nine years. Our members embody our four foundational pillars: Leadership, Service, Scholastics and Recognition. Our organization is looking to induct a new class of members this semester. If you know someone who you feel has been a strong member to the Ithaca College community, please nominate them to apply for this honor society. Members are expected to attend meetings and participate organization events.  Once you are inducted as a member of NRHH, you are a member for life. Please nominate any residents who excel in the areas of service, academics, leadership and recognition. Nominations are due by February 7th. Please use the link below to nominate a student.
