The President’s Vision “We will fundamentally transform residential life at Dartmouth. We envision a campus that is more inclusive, where faculty and grad students play more influential roles in the lives of undergraduates, where students learn and grow outside the classroom, and where we have more options for social life and community interaction. Our new housing plan addresses each of these important needs, and today I am pleased to report that we are aggressively moving forward to implement it.” ~President Hanlon remarks of January 29,

Moving Dartmouth Forward Successful residential House systems are effective at promoting an academic and cultural experience in which undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, staff and alumni are brought together in a community of scholars.. ~Moving Dartmouth Forward Steering Committee Final Report 14

Dartmouth House Communities Academic Engagement: House Professors provide an academic role model, foster intellectual community and develop house identity Community: Life-long house membership identity, common residential and program experiences & deeper engagement with faculty, staff and alumni house members promote positive sense of community Continuity: More than a random space to sleep and do laundry, house communities will provide a home base, a sense of place, and greater continuity in the residential experience 15

The Student Experience Life-long house membership designation at matriculation House communities of up to ~700 students, approximately half in residence in any given term o First year students continue to live together in first year halls, and participate in house activities o Sophomores, juniors & seniors may choose to live in house communities for continuity o Sophomores, juniors & seniors participate in house programs but may choose other residential options such as live learn communities, affinity programs, off- campus apartments, or Greek residences 16

The Student Experience Strong house student governance structures partner with House Professors to promote community, develop programming, manage intramurals, etc. House programming budgets support wide range of house community activities, including regular “feeds”, intramurals, concerts, field trips, new annual traditions, events with house alumni, house swag, experiential learning & leadership development activities 17

We Expect to Create a Campus Where… students are 24/7/365 learners and intellectual pursuits take precedence over activities that lead to high-risk behavior; students are part of an inclusive social environment characterized by dignity and respect for others and safe from extreme, harmful behaviors; students continue the tradition of independently organizing and defining the social scene, but do so with increased adult participation; we support a rich variety of options for community-building and social interaction. 21
