"As Principal, I am trying to ensure that all residents at this College have a Collegiate experience that goes beyond providing decent rooms, food and a stable community environment where residents can study and achieve their academic and career goals.

"A good College has to go well beyond that to provide encouragement for academic excellence, an environment where members of College can be exposed to intellectual stimulation through encountering a range of interesting visitors and speakers; personal development opportunities; opportunities for personal growth; facilitation of growth to personal autonomy and beyond that to a sense of commitment to other people and to ideals of justice and altruism."
