Welcome to Residential Life and Housing


Hello! My name is John Lauer. It is my pleasure to serve our community as the Director for Residential Life and Housing. We are all about relationships, being intentional and purposeful in all that we do, and having the greatest positive influence on the unique intellectual adventure that is Colorado College. Because we are a residential college, life in our residence halls is a central part of the holistic learning experience that characterizes a liberal arts education. Our students live in a diverse neighborhood of traditional residence halls, historic mansions, and modern apartments. However, it is the people who are central to creating the multiple “teachable moments” and learning opportunities that grow naturally out of the frequent interactions our residents have with one another and with our faculty and staff. I’m pleased that you’re checking things out. I hope you’ll be able to take advantage of this great resource. If you have feedback, don’t hesitate to send an email to Reslife@ColoradoCollege.edu or call our office at 719-389-6618. We’d love to hear what you think.

Sincerely,

John J. Lauer

Director
