What fuels
Rodin College House?
- Rodin runs on Authenticity
Our motto “To Be, Rather than to Seem” demonstrates Rodinites’ pursuit of self-exploration and growth. Throughout the floors, we show up as our authentic selves. Rodinites tackle challenges with courage and perseverance and help each other along the way. Weekly and monthly House events help Rodinites stay connected. Input and ideas from residents is always welcome!
- Rodin runs on Engaging Faculty
Faculty Fellows are invested in your academic and personal success. Monthly events include Cookies and Conversations, Baking Series, classical and experimental concerts, and wellness workshops. Depending on the semester, College seminars are taught within Rodin. From first day of class donuts to our very last senior toast, Rodin’s faculty fellows help make Rodin College House a home.
- Rodin runs on Community
Celebrate the many facets of student identities through Rodin’s program communities. Rodin is home to the Jewish Studies Community, Transfer Living Community, Arts Collective, and Leadership program floors. Community members collaborate with House faculty and student groups to host events, share ideas, and make memories.
