Freshman Natasha Desai was named the External Vice Chairwoman for the Residence Halls Association for the 2009-2010 academic year.

“When I interviewed for MUTV, that was my stepping-stone into RHA,” Desai said.

There were many candidates interested in leadership positions within the RHA, and two exceptional candidates were interested in becoming the MUTV Liason, Speaker of Congress Blake Lawrence said.

Not wanting to turn anyone away, Lawrence said he offered Desai the position of external vice chair, a position that is new to RHA this year.

Lawrence said External Vice Chair Desai’s job will be to assist External Committee Chair Jural Vinegar in organizing the agenda, and to keep other members of the cabinet up-to-date.

“I love what external has done so far,” Desai said. “I’m really excited to get to know people, and with everything that’s going on in RHA. I’m excited to hang out and have a good time.”
