The Dartmouth Social Impact Summit

Join us as we celebrate this impact, both on the individual lives of Dartmouth students and alumni, and on the communities they have helped support, in ways both large and small. See below for the conference schedule and logistical details.

The Dartmouth Center for Social Impact grew out of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation in 2015, with the mandate to "prepare students to be transformative leaders for the common good". In partnership with communities across the U.S. and around the globe, its experiential curricular and co-curricular learning programs have supported students in developing the skills and passion needed to tackle society's most pressing challenges.

Over the last 10 years, thousands of Dartmouth students have participated in these programs and have gone on to lead lives of purpose.

All summit events will take place at the Hanover Inn. Full summit details are forthcoming.
