RA Testimonials

What was your favorite moment as an RA?

"My favorite moment as a current RA was being able to do relationship builders with a group of my male residents. We went to a taco place downtown and I was able to learn more about their past experiences growing up and what plans they have for their careers."

RA Testimonials

What was your biggest takeaway in the RA role?

"My biggest take away from the RA role was learning how to manage being involved in many things at once. With the support of my leadership team, I was able to navigate those situations successfully. Gonzaga students are known for high involvement on campus; the RA role has given me the skills to be an engaged student on campus without being overwhelmed."

RA Testimonials

Favorite moment as an RA?

"One of my favorite moments as an RA would have to be from last year, when the building was mostly empty because of Tent City. A bunch of the RAs got together to play laser tag in a deserted building. It was an awesome, spontaneous moment of team bonding. I am so grateful to work with folks that can get along with each other, because it makes us a stronger team."

RA Testimonials

Why should you apply to be an RA?

"The best reasons I have to apply are the great teammates that you’re bound to have and make into friends. I have found so much purpose in my community that I have built... Also the nametag and housing is pretty sweet."
