The Vision
An Investment in Leadership
By the time they graduate, more than half of all Dartmouth students will have studied abroad, a greater percentage than at any college or university in the nation. Six in ten will have served as volunteers - in food banks, classrooms, clinics, and building sites - from Hartland, Vermont, to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, from Kosovo to Bangladesh. Eight in ten will have climbed Mt. Moosilauke. These students will learn to ask new questions, take smart risks. What does the future hold for them? In a sense, it doesn't matter. Dartmouth will prepare them, as it did you, to lead - in boardrooms, classrooms, and communities, in industry, art, and science.
John Sloan Dickey said that there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix. Dartmouth teaches - and its alumni know - that the best leaders, like the best college, can never be good enough.
