Climate and Energy Summer Series

Every Tuesday in July 2020 we arranged for a specialized virtual visit for prospective students interested in thinking about climate change as a substantive part of their college experience. These events were hosted by the Dartmouth College Office of Admissions in partnership with Dartmouth's Irving Institute for Energy and Society. Each session features different Dartmouth faculty members and current students who will discuss their ongoing work around climate and energy.

Studying Climate Science at Dartmouth

What impacts will climate change have on floods, heat waves, disease, food production, and sea level?  Can we solve the climate crisis? We'll hear from Dartmouth professors Jonathan Winter (Geography) and Erich Osterberg (Earth Sciences) and recent alum Mariana Webb '19 about how Dartmouth faculty and students are addressing these and other pressing questions in the classroom and through innovative research around the world. (Recorded Tuesday, July 14, 2020)
 
 

Sustainability at Dartmouth

Rosi Kerr '98, Director of the Sustainability Office at Dartmouth, and Sustainability Program Manager Marcus Welker will share how the study of sustainability at Dartmouth challenges and empower students to solve human and environmental problems presented by a rapidly changing planet through hands-on learning, building inclusive communities, and transforming campus operations.

Young Alumni Panel on Outcomes

This panel discussion features four recent Dartmouth graduates whose on-campus energy engagement spanned engineering, physical, and social science research, founding Dartmouth's first student energy club, developing and implementing the College's ambitious sustainability goals, leading students on an Energy Immersion spring break trip to Appalachia, and more! You'll meet Zach Berzolla '19, Jordan Swett '19, Elena Bird '18, and Laura Hutchinson '19 and learn about their time at Dartmouth, where they are today, and what the future holds.  (Recorded July 28, 2020)
