Overview : Every undergraduate student at Yale is assigned to one of fourteen distinctive and vibrant educational communities called residential colleges. Every college houses a Head (generally a tenured member of the faculty) and a Dean (a full-time staff member) who share responsibility for the operation of the college. Residential College Deans are the chief academic advisers in the residential college. They provide academic and personal advising to undergraduates, administer and participate in residential college functions, interact with faculty and families, respond collaboratively to student emergencies, serve on Yale College committees, and teach one course annually. As a job requirement, the Dean resides in an apartment within the college, has an office in the college and receives a meal plan in the college dining hall to encourage student interaction. Living quarters will be suitable for families, if applicable. The Residential College Dean is appointed for a three-year term which may be renewed. Deans receive eight weeks of recess time each summer, usually from mid-June through early August. Deans report jointly to the Dean of Students and the Dean of Academic Affairs and work closely with Heads of College.
