About the Dean of Students Office

The Dean of Students Office is concerned with the personal, ethical and intellectual growth of students and with their general welfare. The office's responsibilities include providing academic, career, personal and social life counseling; developing and implementing support programs; administering the College's student residential and extracurricular resources; participating in the faculty and administrative formulation and evaluation of policies; and assuring that students' needs are considered in College decisions.

Get to Know Us
The deans, assistants and secretaries of the office are valuable sources of information. Most students would benefit from getting to know well at least one member of the Dean's Office. Students may call, e-mail or visit Deans' offices to set up an appointment with the staff member of their choice or with the first available member of the office. Students who need to see a dean on short notice or are unable to make appointments in advance should call or drop by the office. The Dean of Students Main Office is in 105 Converse Hall (ext. 2337).

Emergencies
During the school year, there is a dean on duty 24 hours a day. To reach a dean outside office hours, call the Campus Police at 413/542-2291 to get the name and phone number of the dean on duty. If the dean doesn't answer when you call, call the Campus Police back and the dean can be paged. In an emergency, always call the Campus Police at 413/542-2111 (x2111 from on campus).

Hours

Summer hours begin the day after Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) and end on Labor Day (the first Monday in September).
