As I noted in an earlier blog post, we promised to adapt our admissions requirements as the situation evolved and as warranted. The situation has evolved, and a policy pause is now warranted.

I recently helped my sister plan an assembly in my hometown in Pennsylvania for a community discussion on race. "A Talk in the Park," as it was called, helped bring awareness to the lack of African American history taught in our schools.

For Dartmouth professors, teaching is a passion, a calling, a way of life. Mentorship is instinctive, one of the most rewarding aspects of their scholarship. Dartmouth faculty members are also pioneering researchers and influential thought-leaders. Their work with students helps them advance the frontier of knowledge and helps students advance their careers. Dartmouth classrooms are interactive, collaborative, discussion-based environments.
Areas of StudyScholars Who Teach
Xia Zhou
Associate Professor of Computer Science
"I see my role in teaching and mentoring students as someone who opens the door to an area, shows them the wonders, excites them, and then guides them through their self-driven exploration in the area. Motivation and passion are the best teacher, so I strive to motivate students by exposing them to the latest research and influential ideas in the field."

Devin Walker
assistant professor of physics and astronomy
“When I was first studying science, I found it really exciting that you could predict certain events. Think of the universe as speaking a language, or making music. There’s always the question of what kind of song is being played. That song is the motion of galaxies, and physicists try to figure out what that song is.”

Mary Flanagan
Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities
"Games are broadly interdisciplinary. They encompass computer science, psychology, sociology, music, art, neuroscience, and more. They're what the liberal arts are all about. We teach our students to think across disciplines. They develop their ability to attack problems, ask productive questions, and invent fresh solutions."

Eric Fossum
Professor of Engineering, Director, PhD Innovation Program
“As I teach my students at Thayer, having a good idea that’s slightly better than existing technology usually is not enough,” Fossum says. “You have to have something that is better in a very compelling way before it can displace an incumbent technology.”

Jodie Mack
Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies
"Jodie Mack is an experimental animator [combining] the formal techniques and structures of abstract/absolute animation with those of cinematic genres. Her handmade films use collage to explore the relationship between graphic cinema and storytelling, the tension between form and meaning…The works unleash the kinetic energy of overlooked and wasted objects and question the role of decoration in daily life."

Rashauna Johnson
Associate Professor of History
"At the risk of seeming flippant," she writes in Slavery’s Metropolis, "only in New Orleans could the paradigmatic site of slavery be a party. The way that the systematic exploitation of enslaved people and their labor was foundational to the creation and growth of the city — that story has to be told alongside the powerful story that’s being told at Congo Square."
