Jeffrey Bates of Pine Grove Named Resident Assistant at Lebanon Valley College

2016 Jan 22

Jeffrey Bates of Pine Grove, Pa., was selected to serve as a resident mentor at Lebanon Valley College in Mary Green Hall for the spring of 2016. Bates, a graduate of Pine Grove Area High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in early childhood education and special education.

LVC selects resident assistants (RAs) and resident mentors (RMs) from the student body who live in the residence halls and serve as mentors and role models. As a resident mentor, Bates will have the responsibilities of an RA, but also be tasked with greater leadership opportunities and special projects for residence life throughout the year.

A residential college, LVC offers a range of housing options. For the first two years, students live in traditional residence halls, allowing them to learn about themselves, meet a lot of people, and make friends. Most upperclassmen live in more independent environments, including small houses, rooms clustered as suites, or apartment-style housing.
