What's going on at Lauder?
- Lauder College House is the first college house built with the college house mission in mind. Lauder is located in the northeastern corner of Penn’s campus and carries LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
- "Semper ad meliora" is the house motto and it means "always onward toward better things." We live this out by encouraging residents to figure out how they want to become citizens in any community they're apart of.
- Rhythm is the lifeblood of our community. Look for big programs every Wednesday, Sunday, and a big trip every month.
- Lauder has a large variety of spaces for you to engage in, including gathering space for social events, lounges to hang with friends, and group or personal study.

About Lauder
As a member of our community, you have the opportunity to imagine and craft your own experiences. By living in Lauder College House, we intend to grow and develop as individuals and as active citizens in our residential, Penn, Philadelphia, and future communities. Together, we implement this by raising our consciousness of what’s happening in the world around us, building a community where belonging is centered, developing our skills to thrive in various situations, and exploring the world and our responsibilities to the communities we belong to. What will your contribution be?
Lauder is more than just a house, it’s a home: your home, our home..
