Resources For Students And Faculty 

Dean of Student Affairs

The Dean of Student Affairs Office (DOSA) seeks to enhance the value of the undergraduate experience by encouraging students to participate actively in the community, be concerned about their peers, and explore personal matters that affect their individual pursuits and the community.

Dean of Studies

The Dean of Studies office supports students in their academic programs of study by providing supplemental advising to all students, fostering collaborative inquiry outside of the classroom, and helping students develop the skills and strategies required for robust engagement in the academic life of the college.   We facilitate the application process for competitive fellowships and scholarships and help students find and meet academic and intellectual challenges outside the regular curriculum.

International Student Services

The International Student office advises students on all matters pertaining to their legal status in the United States and on cultural, social, educational, and personal concerns. The international Student Adviser serves as informal adviser to the International Student Organization.
