Historical note
The Office of the Dean of Students appears to have been established at Colgate University in the early 1930s as part of administrative restructuring that took place under President George Cutten. It later became known as the Office of the Dean of the College.
Today the Office of the Dean of the College is responsible for "creating enriching and safe campus environments and developing opportunities for students to learn and lead beyond a formal classroom setting." Its responsibilities include addressing incidents of bias, harassment, and sexual misconduct on campus; administrative advising; upholding the academic honor code; and awarding academic honors and distinctions.
