| Calling all members - weigh in on new President search |
|
This is an important moment in Dartmouth's history for socially-concerned alums to mobilize. You likely received an email from the Board of Trustees seeking input for a Statement of Leadership for the current presidential search. Since Dartmouth alums will be very vocal about their vision for the future of the college, it is important that social and environmental goals remain at the forefront.
