Sabrina Sheetz
President

Hello! I am Sabrina Sheetz and the 08-09 President of RCA! Thus far, I love my work with residents and RCA’s Executive board but also am warning any future e-board members that it takes a lot of commitment. ;) My role as president is to motivate and keep everyone on task, run meetings, attend various campus meetings, and try my best to be a leader.

This year I am a sophomore at WSU and studying Chemistry- hoping to one day make it into Medical School and work in orthopedics. I am an eclectic person when it comes to both school and life. I look forward to the remainder of this school year and hope that your stay in Wright State University Resident Communities is beneficial and enjoyable. It is the task of RCA to promote and breathe residential life – if you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, or concerns please feel free to contact me at sheetz.2@wright.edu

Have a wonderful school year,
See you around campus,
-Sabrina

Hello fellow Wright State Residents! My name is Chelsea VanHorn and I am a sophomore and the Residential Relations Chair for the Residential Community Association. Basically, I am the communicator of your needs and concerns to the correct university officials. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding your residential life, feel free to contact me and I will help you to the best of my ability! This is my first year on the E-Board and I am very excited to hold a position that is so interactive with the residents! I am majoring in Integrated English and Language Arts and hope to someday be certified to teach English and Special Education at the high school level, as well as be a guidance counselor at a local high school. I enjoy listening to people and helping them solve their conflicts. In the little spare time that I do have, I enjoy playing racquetball, reading a good book, or going to my little siblings’ sporting events. I hope that this year we can build on the already present success of our organization, as well as make some changes to better accommodate your needs! I hope you continue to have a wonderful year here at WSU and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the residential communities that we have here at Wright State!
