The Dean of Students Office is the advocate for all students at the Institute and works to make the student’s experience at Wentworth as positive as possible. As partners in the educational process, non-academic student services must enhance and support the academic mission of the Institute. The services provided by the departments reporting to the Dean of Students provide essential elements contributing to the richness of the total educational experience. Students are encouraged to drop by the office to voice questions or concerns over personal and social issues. The Dean oversees the co-curricular programs at the Institute, including Housing and Residential Life, Student Activities and Multicultural Programs, the Counseling Center, Health Services, International Student Advising, Cooperative Education and Career Planning, Student Discipline and Community Standards, and is also responsible for ensuring that the Institute’s Student Code of Conduct is respected. Students are encouraged to call attention to any practices or procedures that are believed to violate the rights of others. The Dean of Students Office publishes the Student Handbook, which provides information about services for students and co-curricular life. Students are expected to be familiar with and abide by the regulations set forth in the Handbook and in any other official Wentworth publication.
