Hi, King’s students! My name is Gabriel (he/him) and I’m a third-year pre-law student at King’s! I’ve been lucky enough to stay in King’s residence while at school and I’m so excited to be returning as a Junior Don!

As an introverted first-year King’s student moving across the country, having an amazing community of fellow students and the support of the university Dons was invaluable for me. My amazing Don in Alexandra Hall provided a sense of community and reliability, allowing a steady foundation for me to leap into both academic and social university life.

Beginning at university and charting your academic path is difficult, and I want to ensure that new and returning students have people they can talk to regarding their academic, interpersonal and mental health concerns. It’s tough being a university student, and students need to be able to work in a school environment where they feel supported and safe. I’m looking forward to starting to meet new students, and I can’t wait for you all to have an unforgettable time in the King’s dormitory!


Dons are either upper-year King’s students or young professionals who live within a residence floor or bay and provide support to residents in their community.

They can help with:

  • Peer support & mentorship
  • Community building & programming
  • Conflict resolution between community members
  • Providing referrals to campus supports

Dons are the first line of support for individuals living in residence. There is a Don on Call available for urgent/immediate support each evening, weekend and holiday.

The Don on Call (4 p.m.–8 a.m., Mon–Fri & 24/7 on weekends and holidays) can assist with:

  • After hours incident response
  • After hours emergency response
  • After hours mental health crisis response
