Dartmouth faculty are leading academic discussions and open forums for community members to engage in meaningful dialogue across differences. Dartmouth News highlights faculty who have been been highlighted for their work in engaging across different disciplines – for example:

Students at Dartmouth have many opportunities to become informed and empathetic leaders. For example, the student-led Dartmouth Political Union promotes open discourse by hosting speakers from across the political spectrum, holding student debates, and organizing campus-wide discussions on relevant political issues.

The Office of Student Life sponsors and supports an Open Expression Facilitator Program where faculty and staff serve as neutral observers at designated events, while also providing guidance to student organizations on the Freedom of Expression and Dissent policy.
