Inter-Residence Hall Council of New York University

What is the IRHC?

The Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) serves as the umbrella organization for all hall councils, student organizations within each residence hall community at NYU. The IRHC provides programmatic and community service opportunities for the 12,000 residents on campus, as well as the NYU community at large.

IRHC is comprised of several committees, which include:

Programming: designs, plans, and executes programs for the residential and greater NYU community.
Co-sponsorship: provides monetary support to NYU organizations offering programmatic experiences to the NYU residential community.
Community Service: provides service opportunities for residents, strengthening the community within NYU and in the greater New York area.
Public Relations: designs promotional materials, advertisements, press releases, and publicity for the IRHC.
Residential Advocacy: seeks to improve the residential experience of NYU residents by advocating on their behalf to the NYU administration.
National Communications: serves as the liaison between the IRHC and the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH).

We hope to strengthen communication between the IRHC and the residents whom we represent. We provide a voice for all residents to the administration and the greater NYU community.
