Current resident members

The Green College motto is “Ideas and Friendship.” Deceptively simple, this phrase encapsulates the ethos of our academic residential community.

As a resident member, you will enjoy an academically enriched social life and a socially enriched academic life in which interdisciplinarity, creativity, and the unique contributions of every member are highly prized. You will meet extraordinary people here, and we hope you’ll make lifelong friends. 

You also share with your peers the responsibility to play an active part in creating and sustaining a respectful community atmosphere in which every resident member has a sense of belonging and inclusion, and an opportunity to thrive.

We are here for each other: that is the root meaning of college. The college’s grounds, architecture, facilities, endowments, staff, programs, and policies support our community, including those who visit the college as guests. In a small community, respect for one another’s boundaries and mutual dedication to fostering substantive equality are essential values.
