Hobart and William Smith Colleges

The Office of Campus Life leads a group of collaborative offices, designed to enhance our residential campus and assist all community members to feel valued and connected to campus resources. The Office of Campus Life oversees the following areas:

• Health and Wellness: Through supervision of the Counseling Center and Hubbs Health Center, Campus Life ensures students have access to quality health care and community partners.
• Campus Safety and Conduct: Campus Life cultivates an environment where all students, faculty and staff can navigate a safe, well-maintained campus. When an alleged violation of our community expectations takes place, the Director of Community Values and Conflict Resolution uses an educational and restorative approach to address harm and assist community members in seeing how their behavioral choices impacted the community.
• Student Engagement: A team of talented professionals and student leaders with the goal to maximize student connection, Student Engagement (inclusive of Housing, Sustainability, International Student Success and Student Activities) works to create a holistic, student-inspired events calendar that maximizes our residence halls for educational and social programming opportunities.

Initiatives: Whether it’s Orientation, the Personal Empowerment Institute, the Colleges’ student radio stations, Greek Life or Campus Life WORKS program, the Office of Campus Life works to help students build connections to HWS and each other.
