Ten resident assistants (RAs) are assigned at Lions Gate. RAs are undergraduate student leaders who live on the floor among residents. They play a very important role creating a welcoming, safe, and respectful environment.
An RA’s responsibilities include developing activities and programs that help forge meaningful connections between residents, offer support and access to various campus and University resources, and provide an overall well-rounded residence hall experience.
