• Assistant Director of the Native American Program

Through 1-1 conversations, we mentor and guide students through experiences such as:

• transitioning to a new environment
• finding one's place or community at Dartmouth
• navigating intra-community identity politics
• exploring personal identity 
• developing strategies for self-advocacy
• managing institutional and interpersonal power dynamics
• connecting with support services and resources across campus
• leveraging personal- and community-based strengths to thrive at and beyond Dartmouth

The Director of the Native American Program also serves in rotation on the "Dean-on-Call" system, a 24-hr emergency student support service.
