Planet College the tour continues.

This is the next stop on the Planet College College tour. This tour stop is college itself.
College
. The term college connotes a collection of like-minded individuals gathered for a common purpose. We get the words colleague and collegiality from the same root word. The colleges, when grouped become a university. The individual colleges within a university are usually dedicated to one overall discipline. Your campus may include a College of Arts, a College of Science, a College of Engineering or any others of many disciplines possible.

Dean. The head of a college is called the Dean. He or She is the other person on the platform who will be shaking your hand after the president hands you the fake diploma everyone gets at the graduation ceremony. Deans move around a lot. In fact during the time it takes you to read this your college probably got a new Dean.
