Hobart College is for men and students who are gender diverse. The mission of the Hobart Dean's Office is to guide and assist each Hobart student to reach their fullest potential as a Hobart Statesman during their years at the College. Hobart College was founded in 1822 by Bishop John Henry Hobart. In the Bicentennial year of the College, we take pride in our long-standing traditions and especially in knowing that it takes to help all of our students meet the ever-changing challenges of higher education. Programs include: Charter Day, John Henry Hobart Day, Benjamin Hale Dinner, Hobart Launch, Druid Society, Chimera, and Orange Key.
