Commons system and Commons heads

The Commons System was instituted in 1992-93, with the purpose of creating a closer community of students, faculty, and staff, and to enrich the cultural and intellectual environment on campus.  There are five Commons or groups of residence halls.  Each Commons has a Commons "team" that includes a Commons Head(s), a Dean, a Coordinator, and several residential advisors.  The Commons Head(s), in particular, works with students to develop a social and intellectual program for their Commons.  New faculty are assigned to a Commons upon arrival and are encouraged to become involved. Please find below a listing of the commons and their Commons heads:
