Founded in 1984, the Inter Residence Hall Government (IRHG) is the second largest student government at Creighton University, representing the nearly 2,500 residents living on campus in residence halls and apartments. The organization - supported and recognized by the Department of Residence Life - includes an Executive Board and voting General Assembly consisting of residents who serve as the executives of their respective Residence Hall and Apartment Councils. At weekly General Assembly meetings, held each Tuesday, issues such as policy, dining services, financial allocations, and programming are discussed. Beyond serving as a medium through which students' voices are heard, IRHG provides its members with hands-on leadership opportunities. Additionally, IRHG seeks to improve the on-campus living experience of its constituents in providing programming and taking up issues of concern.
