Rich Groff

Rich Groff was a residential staffer at Lancaster for many years. He is believed to have started working at Lancaster sometime around 1983 as an RA, eventually becoming Dean of Residential Life around 1987. He remained Dean until 1997 and is the person with the most years and sessions working Res Life at Lancaster as well as the person with the most years in any single Res Life position(~11 years as Dean).

It is not certain whether Rich Groff has been at Lancaster for more sessions than either Pomm or Timmer, but the distinction of having the most time at CTY-Lancaster must surely belong to one of them.

For many years, Rich Groff, along with Garrett Jacobsen(former academic dean and site director) and Jack Kay(former site director) made up the student callback "Garrett, Jack and Rich" to the phrase "The three men I admire most" in American Pie.
