DESCRIPTION
Named for civil rights lawyer and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and inspired by his contributions to building a more just society, Thurgood Marshall College at UC San Diego is dedicated to supporting undergraduate students from all majors to become engaged citizens who are committed to serving society. Marshall College staff members work collaboratively to guide students in understanding that their professional careers will take place in a larger societal context determined by complex histories and social struggles, and that they have a hand in shaping the future. Founded in 1970 as UC San Diego’s third college, the College’s mission to "develop students as scholars and citizens" is brought to life by our engaged students, faculty, staff, and alumni who live, work, and study all over the world.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are central to the mission of Marshall College. This is reflected in the topics of study in the Dimensions of Culture Program, the required writing courses for all entering first year students, that focuses on the study of diversity, justice, and imagination in U.S. history, culture, and society. Our residence halls and apartment communities represent the grassroots history of our college in their house names, utilize restorative practices/justice to build community, and house large communities of underrepresented minoritized students, including significant populations of Native, Black, and Latinx students. The College’s programs and partnerships demonstrate our commitment to diversity, as shown through our exchange programs with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the Public Service minor, our Partnerships Schools Program with Gompers Preparatory Academy and the Preuss School, our work with the OASIS Summer Bridge Program, the Kumeyaay Native Garden, and striking art pieces throughout Marshall College: the Sojourner Truth statue, the Chicano Legacy Mural, and a community-based mural in our residential community.
Under the direction of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs/Director of Residence Life, the Assistant Director of Residence Life (ADRL) coordinates significant portions of the residential life program. The ADRL plays an integral role in implementing the residential life program as it relates to creating a safe and secure living learning environment, which supports students’ personal, educational, social, and professional development and is supportive of the college’s educational vision.
The Marshall College residential community houses approximately 2,450 undergraduate students who reside in apartments of 8-10 residents each. The Associate Dean of Student Affairs/Director of Residence Life, four Assistant Directors, and 50 undergraduate paraprofessional staff live in the Marshall College housing complex. The Residential Life office strives to build a positive and safe living-learning environment in which students can grow and develop as scholars and citizens. The staff provide programs and services that support the academic mission of the University by enhancing the educational, personal, cultural, and social development of students.
