College offers classes with nontraditional course designs
As college students, we’ve been in school for as long as we can remember. Over time, taking notes during class and studying for exams has become a routine.
In recent years, however, Dartmouth faculty and administrators alike have worked together to design experiential learning courses that challenge students to cultivate their skills outside of the classroom. In up to 12 courses per term, students collaborate with community organizations on projects as part of the Center for Social Impact’s newly-launched Social Impact Practicum program.

GRAD Connections in Consumer Neuroscience

The close-knit collegial environment on campus extends beyond commencement into a strong and connected alumni community. Such connections foster deep learning and opportunities that other schools strive to cultivate. GRAD alumna Kimberly Rose Clark (’04) taps into our local and global Dartmouth community and nimbly brings her research industry’s network and expertise to the Consumer Neuroscience course she teaches in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.
