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.

Colin Calloway
Professor of History and Native American Studies
"I’ve spent most of my life working on Native American history because ultimately it means rethinking the history of this continent. There’s no better place to do it than a college with its own Indian history, with an ongoing commitment to Native education and Native American studies, and with Native students in all my classes."

"As the world becomes smaller, our classrooms expand. One of the main goals of a liberal arts education is to prepare our undergraduates to welcome the various challenges they will face in our ever-shrinking world, inhabited by racially, culturally, linguistically different peoples."

Erich Osterberg
Associate Professor of Earth Sciences
"In the classroom, I strive to let my enthusiasm for science, the Earth, and the environment guide my teaching. It’s amazing to work with such bright and engaged students every day. My favorite moments are when a student tells me, “I took this class for a distributive requirement—I never thought I would love Earth science!"

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."

I love teaching at Dartmouth because of the interaction between teaching and research."
