XIV. Pre-Professional Societies
- The Amateur Radio Association organization exists to promote interest in amateur radio by providing communications for various Dartmouth sports events and talking to other radio operators around the world from its location in Thayer School of Engineering. Weekly meetings are held and training classes are given to prepare unlicensed members for the FCC exams. Membership is open to the Dartmouth community.
- The American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) is a national, nonprofit organization which nurtures building of community by bridging science and technology with traditional Native values. Through its educational programs, AISES provides opportunities for American Indians and Native Alaskans to pursue studies in science, engineering, business and other academic arenas. The trained professionals then become technologically informed leaders within the Indian community. AISES' ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for the advancement of American Indians and Native Alaskans as they seek to become self-reliant and self-determined members of society.

- The Club of Dartmouth Entrepreneurs (CODE) helps its members gain knowledge on subjects of finance and entrepreneurship. Blitz "CODE".
- Daniel Webster Legal Society (see Rockefeller Center Organizations)
- TheDartmouth Pre-Veterinary Medical Society is designed to stimulate interest in the veterinary field, to familiarize students with the vet-school application process, provide information and hands-on veterinary experiences, and to provide students who share interest in the veterinary field an opportunity to support each other. Blitz "Dartmouth Pre-Vet Society".
- Dartmouth Undergraduate Psychology Association (DUPA) is organized to provide support, resources and information for students interested in the field of psychology and to sponsor psychology-related events. Those interested in the academic pursuit of psychology (whether as a major, a minor or just for fun!) are encouraged to attend meetings and functions. DUPA has a website at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~dupa.
- The Finance and Investment Club provides a forum to discuss finance and investment related issues; provide outlet for students to participate in finance and investment related experiences. Blitz Caroline Tarnok.
- The Nathan Smith Pre-Medical Society was founded in 1976 to offer extracurricular experiences to Dartmouth undergraduates interested in the health professions and to provide guidance for students aiming towards a career in medicine. Current activities include a Physician Shadowing Program at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), a mentoring program with DMS students, involvement of undergraduates in DMS Student Clinical Interest Groups, an annual Medicine Career Day, periodic programs/talks/seminars on timely topics in health and related disciplines, activist programs to promote health in the Dartmouth community, volunteer activities through DHMC and Tucker Foundation, an informational link to the DMS Alumni Association and being a central information resource on health-related opportunities (example: research), career counseling and medical school application assistance (in conjunction with Career Services). The organization is guided by a student executive committee with Dr. Lee A. Witters (Dartmouth Medical School) serving as faculty advisor. More information is available at the NSS web site: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~nss/ Blitz: Lee Witters
- The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is a student-run organization which serves to recruit and retain minority students in science at Dartmouth College. Though it is primarily concerned with campus issues, it is also a chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers. In this way, it addresses issues regarding the science community as a whole. Activities are open to the entire Dartmouth Community. Blitz: nsbe
- The Society of Automotive Engineers exists to gain broader insight into the engineering profession by sponsoring student projects such as the award-winning Formula One Racing Car.
- The Dartmouth Chapter of the Society of Women Engineers is a student run chapter of a national organization dedicated to supporting women in the field of engineering. Dartmouth SWE organizes activities including social and networking events for women engineering students, community service projects related to science and engineering, and events that include the entire Dartmouth/Thayer School engineering community. We encourage first year women with any interest in the field of engineering to come to our meetings and get involved! Blitz SWE with for more information or to add your name to the Blitz list!
- The Women in Science Project (WISP) at Dartmouth began in 1990 to encourage more women to pursue their interests in the sciences, including math and engineering. The Project offers a constellation of programs including a paid research internship program for first-year women (and sophomore women in certain fields), offering the opportunity to work one-on-one with a science faculty member in his or her lab . An annual information meeting in early October details the application process for the internship program. Open to all students, undergraduate and graduate, are other special programs such as panel discussions, lunch discussion groups with visiting women scientists, peer mentoring program and MentorNet, the national electronic industrial mentoring network for women in engineering and science. Through all of these special programs the Women in Science Project addresses the needs of students for encouragement, community, mentoring, and access to opportunities and information.
