Faculty
January 1970
The nature of a rural location and boarding school schedule is it can be very isolated community socially; make sure you get to know who else you'll be living and working with, see if you are a good community fit. It changes year to year. These people will be your colleagues and friends; it is hard with the schedule and location to meet people in the greater community.

Recommend to Women?
Traditionally an all-male environment, only transitioning to having more of a female staff presence in the last ten years or so. Isolated nature of campus can lead to some outdated ideas of women's roles, interests, etc. Many in leadership are working to address these issues. If you are a feminist, be prepared to be a leader among many young 20-somethings who might not have worked anywhere else.
