Division Dean of the College
Department Residential Life
Department Statement
The Office of Residential Life furthers the educational mission of
Colgate University by extending student learning and growth into
our residential community, promoting a purposeful and inclusive
environment through shared experience. This is accomplished by
promoting healthy, safe, and inclusive communities where individual
members are valued and respected; fostering personal growth and
success through a purposeful residential experience; and
challenging and supporting students in making meaningful and
responsible contributions to society.
The Residential Commons is a fundamental, driving force that
infuses intellectual engagement and community development into the
residential experience at Colgate. All first-year students live in
one of four Commons, each with its own unique personality and
characteristics, under the direction of faculty directors.
Upper-division students maintain an affiliation with their
respective Commons for life, whether formally-by continuing to live
within the Commons or its social house-or informally. Residential
Life and the Commons aim to provide students with a home away from
home that reflects the academic rigor and engagement of the
University at large.

Dean of the College Division was acknowledged by Diverse Issues in
Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed as one of the Most Promising
Places to Work in Student Affairs.
Accountabilities
The Area Director (AD) is a full-time, live-in position, primarily
responsible for the effective and efficient execution of strategies
and programs that enrich the residential experience at Colgate. The
AD works closely the Residential Life Leadership Team and, when
assigned to a Commons Area, a Residential Commons Leadership Team
to build intellectually-engaging residential communities in which
all students feel like they belong and have the opportunity to
grow. ADs who oversee areas that fall within Residential Commons
also work under the leadership of Commons Directors. The AD
supervises live-in student staff in their respective areas, and may
provide leadership for a part-time Fellow in a Residential
Commons.
