the Residents’ Action Council, or tRAC, is Ohio University’s residence hall association and was founded in 1994 under the direction of Dr. James Sand.  tRAC is a registered student organization with Campus Life and works closely with the Department of Residence Life.

All students living in the residence halls of Ohio University are invited and welcome to join the Residents’ Action Council.  Every residential building or complex, totaling 22, designates a representative that serves as the liaison between tRAC and the individual hall/complex council.  These representatives are among the students that attend weekly general body meetings.

the Residents’ Action Council strives to unite the students in the residence halls by giving them an active voice and improving relations with the Ohio University administration.  tRAC provides and supports social, cultural, recreational, and educational programming for on-campus students.

Mission Statement

the Residents’ Action Council @ Ohio University recognizes the desire for advancement of the residential community; therefore, tRAC strives to motivate and involve students through advocacy and programming by providing support and an open forum of ideas within the community of residence halls.

Vision Statement
