Dunmore Lang College is a residential college of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Its motto is "Enriching students’ lives; creating futures". The college is a non-profit organisation, affiliated with the university. Established in 1972, it was named after John Dunmore Lang, a controversial Presbyterian clergyman who arrived in Australia in 1823. An influential figure in the early history of the college was Miss Dorothy Knox, Principal of the Presbyterian Ladies College, Pymble, who guided community appeals for suitable accommodation for ladies. Since a site at the University of Sydney could not be found, attention turned to the then new Macquarie University. Originally a ladies college, Dunmore Lang College soon became co-educational and in recent years a new wing was created expanding the college to accommodate about 260 students and new conference facilities. The college is fully catered and provides rooms with and without ensuites. Dunmore Lang College is governed by a board of directors.
