Social Justice Awards
The Social Justice Awards were established in 2002 by the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee, which has a diverse membership from a variety of departments at Dartmouth. These awards were established to recognize individual alumni, faculty, staff, and student groups for their commitment to causes of social justice, civil rights, peace, education, public health or environmental justice.

Juneteenth Commemoration
The annual Juneteenth Commemoration began at Dartmouth in 2023 to commemorate the historic day in 1865 when enslaved individuals in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom – two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The events are an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to join in community to learn about Juneteenth’s historical significance.
