Frank J. Guarini ’46, a former New Jersey congressman and U.S. representative to the United Nations, has committed $10 million to support Dartmouth’s off-campus and foreign study programs—adding to an earlier commitment of $10 million for a total endowment commitment of $20 million to Dartmouth.
What does this mean for Dartmouth students? New opportunities for students to study in countries around the world, learn from people across many cultures, and expand their expertise in language, diplomacy, and global issues across the spectrum of arts and sciences. Dartmouth is already among the top in the Ivy League for study abroad participation, with 55 percent of Dartmouth undergraduates engaging in more than 40 off-campus learning opportunities in 29 countries.
This fall, I've had the opportunity to study abroad at University College London (UCL) through an economics exchange program. Soaking up a new culture in the bustling UK capital, I've learned a lot—not only about economics, but also about myself.
As I grew older within my small town in the southern United States, I developed a desire to travel the world. Although I was only in Italy for the summer, living in a foreign country has been an influential experience I will never forget.
Hanover is lovely, but we all like to get away at times! Read to find out how Zipcars and the Dartmouth Coach make traveling very accessible for students.
Are you scared to study abroad because of finances? Well, with Dartmouth you don't have to be! During my study abroad in Rome, the Financial Aid office helped me talk about finances abroad!
Over the summer, I had the opportunity of a lifetime: living in Rome on a study abroad! And while it was an amazing experience, homesickness began to set in. Who would have thought that anchoring at Dartmouth would be my solution!
Being in DC this summer and participating in the Rockefeller Center's First Year Fellows program, I've been able to really see just how special the Dartmouth alumni network is.
If you want to learn more about the world by retreating from it, there's no better place to do so than at the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact (DCSI)'s Matariki Global Impact Summit.
