Diversity and the Role of the UGA

“Dartmouth embraces diversity with the knowledge that it significantly enhances the quality of a Dartmouth education.”   —Dartmouth College Mission Statement

All residential life staff members are expected to be committed to meeting the needs of —and recognizing the advantages inherent in— a diverse group of residents. UGA candidates must be willing and able to build a community that is welcoming, affirming, and inclusive of a diverse group of people. Your personal conduct must also be congruent with these goals.

As noted in the College’s Mission Statement and in the Principle of Community, the diversity of our residential communities is one of the most valuable qualities of the residential experience and is an essential element of a liberal education. We expect staff members to recognize this and to strive to make the experience of living in a diverse community a central part of the learning and development process that each individual—including one’s self—experiences in college. In so doing, staff members will be implementing one of the core values of Dartmouth College.

Prior to applying, all applicants for residential life positions should seriously consider their commitment to fulfilling these expectations in their job performance, while recognizing that you will receive support through training and supervision.
