Establishing trust. Setting a positive example. Building friendships. Doing the right thing. Helping others. It\u2019s all in a day\u2019s work for a dorm proctor at Trinity-Pawling!<\/p>\n
Proctors are upperclassmen leaders who help to oversee the day-to-day operation of a dorm. Appointed by the dorm parents and the Faculty Senior Leadership Committee each spring, students selected as proctors play an important role in Trinity-Pawling\u2019s residential life program. As leaders both in and out of the dorms, they set the tone for evening study hall and dorm responsibilities, offer extra help to younger students, facilitate weekly dorm clean-ups, and foster a fun and inclusive atmosphere across the nine dorms on campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cProctors also provide important peer-to-peer support,\u201d added Dean of Residential Life Dutch Keel. \u201cFrom homework to homesickness, they are a great resource for all students. Proctors help to plan different activities and outings for the residents, and build strong connections within the dorm. It\u2019s a meaningful and significant role on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, there are nearly 45 students serving as dorm proctors at Trinity-Pawling \u2014 a role they are honored to have.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe role of proctor is so important to the functionality of campus,\u201d shared Sean Wyman \u201924, a junior proctor in Starr. \u201cThe best part about being a proctor is when other students see me as someone they can trust and turn to when they need help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luc Buchanan \u201923, a Cluett II proctor, also enjoys the mentorship aspect of the role. \u201cI find the most rewarding part of being a proctor is helping new students, whether it\u2019s a question about certain T-P traditions or how to tie a tie. I enjoy helping others, with the intention and hope that those who I have helped in the School community will pay it forward and help others in the future,\u201d Buchanan explained. \u201cIt\u2019s all about setting a good example and showing the underclassmen what it means to hold a leadership position on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most rewarding part of being a proctor would have to be the respect you earn when you do the right thing, the right way, right on time,\u201d echoed Max Camaj \u201923, a proctor in East. \u201cMaking sure that the dorm is taken care of and that the boys are all staying motivated to take care of the dorms is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the leaders of our dorm and students look up to us. It\u2019s a great feeling to have that trust,\u201d shared Raphael Denis \u201923, a prefect and proctor in Cluett III. His best advice for rising student-leaders? That\u2019s an easy one. \u201cBe an example to your peers, be kind to your brothers, and be an active part of this great community.\u201d<\/p>\n
As proctors, students like Sean, Luc, Max, and Raphael help provide a safe, fun, and supportive home away from home for boarders at Trinity-Pawling. \u201cDorm proctors contribute a great deal to the School community,\u201d concluded Keel. \u201cThey help us provide every opportunity for students to succeed and feel supported during their time in the Pride.\u201d<\/p>\n
To all dorm proctors at Trinity-Pawling this year, we thank you for your continued leadership on campus!<\/p>\n
