Formal efforts to support and coordinate outreach at Dartmouth began in 2006, when Dartmouth received an undergraduate teaching award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In 2007, in recognition of both need and opportunity, the Provost Council encouraged the Vice Provost for Research to coordinate and support outreach across the institution. In keeping with Dartmouth's mission, the vision for the Office of Outreach is to integrate research, teaching and learning. The Office of Outreach reports to the Vice Provost for Research.
