First Year Students: Congratulations on making a wise choice not only to attend Rosemont College, but also making a tremendous investment in your future and your success. Returning Students: Remember to celebrate your return and reflect on the dedication and hard work it has taken to get to this point. As Dean of Students, I am, ultimately, your advocate and your biggest supporter as a student during your time at Rosemont. I am committed to working with the Student Affairs staff to assist in this important mission. For wellness needs and emotional support, do not hesitate to reach out to our great staff in the Counseling Center and in the Wellness Center. If you are a resident student with concerns, the Office of Residence Life is ready to assist you. If you are an aspiring or current student athlete, be sure to connect with our Athletics staff for information. If you want to know more about activities or leadership opportunities, find time to chat with our staff in the Leadership and Engagement Office. Curious about internships or study abroad (among many other options): contact the office of Post-Graduate Success. These are just a few examples of ways in which Student Affairs can be beneficial to you! Within the Student Handbook, you will find information that discusses policies, procedures and expectations of you as a student. The Student Handbook represents the obligations that we as a College have committed to you in order to maximize your success. It is your responsibility and your right to read the information provided thoroughly.
