 Parkhurst is the administrative center of the College, housing the Offices of the President, the Dean of the College, the Upperclass Deans Office, the First-Year Office, the Provost's Office, and the Office of Residential Life. All Deans, including the President, maintain office hours and are readily available to all students. At all hours, there is a Dean “on call”. The deans act as resources, helping students to make the most of learning opportunities at Dartmouth and also to overcome academic or personal challenges. The Office of Residential Life deals with all housing matters.
