Welcome to Crabtree/Mary Lyon/Knowlton!
Greetings from your Residence Director:
Hello and welcome to UMass Amherst! I am Gerardo
Blanco, the Residence Director (RD) for the Crabtree/Mary Lyon/Knowlton
cluster. CMLK (pronounced C-MiLK) is one of three clusters in the
Northeast area and is conveniently located off of the campus’ North
Pleasant Street thoroughfare and just across from the Worcester
Dining Commons.
This year is my first year as the RD in the CMLK
cluster. I am excited to work with a wonderful staff and to serve
such an amazing student population. My central role is to help
build a safe, caring, and inclusive community in our cluster. Once
you arrive on campus, look for me in my office, which is located
on the first floor of Crabtree, room 111, next to the Cluster Office.
I am here to serve a resource for your development, so feel free
to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I will be happy
to help you find an answer, and to refer you to other resources
on campus.
The CMLK staff is excited that you are part of
our community! If you are looking for a residential experience
that builds upon connections and involvement, then you are headed
for the right place! You are a crucial member of the CMLK community
and the CMLK staff is excited to welcome you to your home for the
2007-2008 school year!

students as they develop into their future selves. As ARD, I assist
in the management and operation of the cluster by supervising the
Resident Assistants (RAs) and Cluster Office Manager (COM), advising
student leader groups, and much more! Once you arrive on campus,
do not hesitate to stop by my office, which is located within the
