Faculty members are encouraged to nominate themselves or colleagues. Nominees must be members of the tenured faculty.
Faculty leadership is at the core of the West Campus House System, and its goal is to create an environment that links the residential life of students to the academic mission of the university. The five West Campus houses offer upper-level students unique, faculty-led, living-learning opportunities within their diverse and inclusive communities, and bring together students and faculty in a spirit of inquiry and active citizenship.
Nominations should be sent to Stacy Kesselring, sk866@cornell.edu, by December 13, 2024. The search committee will begin reviewing nominations immediately thereafter. After this date, nominations will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled. For more information, please visit the following.
