Through our collaborative effort, we are able to combine the resources of Dartmouth's undergraduate and graduate students in order that we may assist in enhancing the life of both international communities and our own community. Each of Dartmouth's three graduate schools is involved in the project:
Tuck School of Business: It is the job of the Tuck students to build the foundations of each project and define how all of the parties involve intersect. To do so, the Tuck students research answers to questions such as the following:
Dartmouth Medical School: This program brings the resources of the medical teaching faculty and fourth year Medical School students into contact with undergraduates who are exploring interests in the medical profession. The undergraduates involved in this part of the program usually belong to the Nathan Smith Pre-Medical Society. These undergraduates work hand-in-hand with the medical school faculty and students when on-site both assessing disease and administering medicine. This program also allows all involved to remove themselves from the classroom and return to the basics of what medicine is all about.
Thayer School of Engineering: The goal of the Thayer students is to apply their learning and training in an environment that is not technologically advanced. Thayer students and the undergraduates who work with them provide their basic knowledge of design while the locals provide the basic knowledge of practical application. Again, the students are removed from the classroom and forced to apply their knowledge in a basic setting. The ultimate challenge of the Thayer students is determining how to enhance the construction project with the goal being that these students may bring back their knowlege and begin designing differently with environmental and other issues in mind.
