“I was very encouraged to see how much the program helped students grow socially and intellectually and bond as a group.”
– SEAD Staff Member
SEAD is an enrichment program that strives to expose its students to experiences they may have never had before. In doing so, we also seek to show students all of the opportunities available to them at college. Because there are students on campus at Dartmouth in the summer, we have Dartmouth student groups run various activities with the SEAD students. During the program, SEAD students have had the opportunity to learn how to salsa dance and sing a cappella. They have had the opportunity to make jewelry, play squash, making, and go hiking. Students have attended the Big Apple Circus and an amusement park. They have also gone bowling and participated in a fundraising walk for cancer research.
Generally, students have activity blocks in the afternoons and evenings after classes and study hall.
