The Collegiate Way

Dr. Robert O’Hara, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, has a website called The Collegiate Way.

"The Collegiate Way seeks to improve campus life by creating small, faculty-led residential colleges within large universities. It’s the leading resource on the worldwide residential college movement."

While Trent is a small university, it nonetheless has a college system. Dr. O'Hara's website has lots of great information about University Colleges from around the world including those at Harvard, Oxford and Yale to name a few.

Trent's colleges are featured on his website with some information regarding history and architectural inspiration.

Champlain College (and other colleges at Trent) are unique and different than the colleges from Harvard and Yale. Indeed, Trent's colleges are more than just residential colleges. Champlain specifically fosters inclusivity and will continue to grow as a community of students, alumni, college admin and faculty who live on campus, off-campus and around the world.
