College Master

The Residential College (RC) system is a comprehensive community-based educational platform that embodies the University’s 4-in-1 education model and student-centered philosophy of whole-person education.

In alignment with UM’s Residential College education model, the College Master provides leadership to an individual college in advancing its mission as a dynamic academic and social community dedicated to residential college education and the whole‑person development of students. Reporting to the Vice Rector (Student Affairs), the College Master is responsible for overseeing the effective implementation of the five educational measures within the college, with the objective of cultivating and enhancing students’ designated learning competencies.
