∎ Mandating the Greek houses to make fundamental reforms to reduce “extreme behaviors” and if they don’t, revisiting the question of whether to ban them. ∎ More vigorously recruiting students from a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds, and seeking to increase diversity among the faculty. ∎ Supplementing steps already taken to end sex assault by introducing a “comprehensive and mandatory” four-year sexual-violence prevention and education program for students. ∎ Banning hard liquor on campus in an effort to eliminate dangerous drinking and to combat sexual assault. The idea is to promote social cohesion and continuity in living arrangements, as well as provide an alternative to fraternity and sorority social life. ∎ Establishing six residential colleges that will organize and host social and academic programs and provide a stable four-year campus “home” for each student. The steps proposed to make this vision a reality were laid out, with greater and lesser degrees of specificity, in Hanlon’s speech and an accompanying implementation plan. Hanlon’s vision is one in which sexual assault and alcohol abuse are eradicated from campus inclusivity is highly prized (some form of the word appeared 10 times in the speech) learning takes place around-the-clock, both in and outside the classroom and students still play the predominant role in organizing the social scene, but with greater accountability and adult supervision.
Turmoil and attendant negative publicity on these issues have undoubtedly tarnished the school’s reputation.Īnd just as Nixon’s impeccable anti-Communist credentials provided him with the political space to make his bold opening to China in 1972, Hanlon’s true-son-of-Dartmouth pedigree - he graduated in 1977 and was a member of Alpha Delta fraternity - just might give him the credibility to pull off the sweeping transformation of his alma-mater that he undertook Thursday, elements of which have long been resisted by some college constituencies. That long-standing problems with alcohol abuse and sexual assault at Dartmouth had to be addressed was already clear when Hanlon was appointed president in 2013. In his speech Thursday, Hanlon described the admission of women as “without doubt the most significant change in our college’s history,” and went on to suggest that Dartmouth now faces an equally pivotal and potentially transformative moment as it grapples with changing the environment in which students live and learn in Hanover. To be sure, the analogy that Hanlon had in mind in announcing his “Moving Dartmouth Forward” initiative last week was not with Nixon, but with one of his predecessors as Dartmouth president, John Kemeny, who presided over the college’s transition to co-education in 1972. At the end of April, teams will pitch their startup to the judges and network to find investors, mentors, and other forms of support.Could this be Dartmouth College President Phil Hanlon’s “Nixon Goes to China” moment? In early March, a rubric containing expectations for each team’s presentation in the final days of the competition will be released.

#Dartmouth social scene series#
In Fall 2021, DartUP launched a series of workshops on Sundays in the Magnuson Center. During the competition, students will learn from others and from their own experiences the elements needed to build a successful social entrepreneurial startup. Students will attend workshops and find mentors to guide them through the entire process. Interested students will form social entrepreneurial startup teams at the end of fall term to prepare for the annual 2-term long social entrepreneurial startup competition in which students form teams to create, design, market, and pitch their startup ideas to a panel of judges. DartUP will host entrepreneurship workshops open to all undergraduate and graduate students each fall term to introduce students to startup concepts and provide hands-on learning experiences. DartUP values innovation, cooperation, integrity, and hard work.
