My reading and listening comprehension improved exponentially, I confronted some of my common grammar mistakes through writing essays, and I became less afraid to speak to others with less-than-perfect Spanish.

During First-Year Trips last year, all of us '21s received shirts inscribed with "Welcome Home" as our first piece of Dartmouth memorabilia; it never occured to me that Dartmouth would actually become my "home."

How Financial Aid WorksFor 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
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."
