“Being away from my family and working
long hours is one of the things that does not
appeal to me about being a doctor," he said.
The sense of family among the students at
Jexas A&M is one of the reasons Williams was
attracted to the campus.
“A lot of Texas A&M graduates that 1 had
met were the friendliest people,” he said. “It
was the only school to which I applied. Texas
A&M is pretty much a big family. It feels like a
much smaller university because the tradi
tions (lend to) an automatic brotherhood and
sisterhood.”
As RHA president, Williams oversees the
8,500 on-campus residents and presides over
the RHA executive council. He said his posi
tion gives him the opportunity to oversee
changes made in RHA.
“This past year, we changed the constitu
tion,” Williams said. “Everything that we do is
probably going to be mimicked in future
years. I want to streamline RHA and help ease
some of the growing pains of this transition.”
Michael Hoy, a RHA representative and a
junior mechanical engineering major, said
Williams was instrumental in reconstructing
the RHA constitution.
“There is nobody that knows the inner
workings, the nitty-gritty of RHA, as well as
Eric Williams,” Hoy said.
Williams is a member of the National Res
idence Hall Honorary, an organization that
selects students for leadership.
Last year, Williams performed administra
tive duties as operations vice president of RITA
, which prepared him for the presidency.
“I grew to enjoy the jobs that I had last year
(as vice president),” Williams said. “For me, it
has been hard to make the transition and to
pass on my administrative duties.”
Williams said his experience as a fresh
man motivated him to become more in
volved in RHA.
“My freshman year I lived in Aston Hall,
and my hall president gave me a paper to fill
out,” Williams said. “ I was accepted into
Freshman Leaders In Progress (FLIP), an or
ganization specific for RHA.”
