The Dean of Students
The dean of students has the responsibility for coordinating several aspects of the nonacademic lives of Vassar students. Specifically, the dean of students oversees the following student service areas: counseling, health, health education, residential life, and international services. The dean regularly meets with the directors of the student services that report to him; together they establish the goals and priorities of each office. The dean of students oversees the Student Conduct system and, along with the dean of freshmen, co-chairs the New Student Orientation Committee.
The dean of students serves as an advocate for students and their needs. D.B. Brown is the dean of students. His office is located in Main, N-121 (extension 5315). You should not hesitate to call or stop by with concerns you might have throughout the year.
