“They’re so warm, they have so much energy. I know that this is their first year, but they seem like they’ve been doing it forever,” Libby said.

According to Harrington, Libby’s selection as resident dean followed a search process that screened multiple prospective candidates.

“In Pfoho, [Libby] was interviewed, not only by the House masters, but also by House administrators, tutors, and students,” Harrington wrote in an email. “We could not be more thrilled that she has decided to accept the position, and we all look forward to welcoming her and her family—including seven-month old Lucie—to the community!"

Libby will be the permanent replacement for Lisa M. Boes, who left the post in fall 2013.
