ABOUT DCF
 
 
The Dartmouth Centers Forum was founded in 2005 by six centers (the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning, the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Ethics Institute, the Fannie and Alan Leslie Center for the Humanities, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences, and the William Jewett Tucker Foundation), as a collaborative alliance to promote an open campus-wide dialogue on complex issues. Four others, the Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship, the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the Hood Museum of Art, and the Institute for Security Technology Studies, joined more recently. Although all ten of the centers continue to pursue their missions individually, the DCF provides an opportunity for programming to be coordinated using shared resources. The Allwin Initiative aims to prepare Tuck students for leadership in this increasingly complex, interconnected world. We work to ensure that the changing issues at the intersection of business and society are a key component of our MBA education and a part of Tuck's broader scholarly activities. The Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning (DCAL) advances undergraduate and graduate learning by providing and coordinating services that promote and support effective teaching. DCAL encourages and supports research about teaching and learning. The Dickey Center is Dartmouth’s international crossroads, where diverse cultures, knowledge bases and experiences are brought together to advance international understanding. We strive to foster an educational, open dialog on the vital international issues of the day, ensure that a rigorous understanding of the world is an essential part of the Dartmouth experience, and prepare students for lifetime engagement in world affairs. In a world marked by globalization and often violent opposition to change, the promotion of international understanding has never been more important and timely. The Ethics Institute exists to foster the study and teaching of ethics throughout the Dartmouth community, at the undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. The Institute serves the College, Dartmouth Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering, as well as Tuck Business School. The purpose of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College is to inspire, educate, and collaborate with our academic and broader communities about creativity and imagination through a direct engagement with works of art of historic and cultural significance by making effective use of our collections and staff. The mission of the Hopkins Center is to ignite and sustain a passion for the arts within the Dartmouth community and to provide the core educational environment for the study, creation and presentation of the arts. The Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS) at Dartmouth College strengthens homeland security through interdisciplinary research, education and outreach programs that focus on technology critical for cyber security and trust. The Leslie Center for the Humanities contributes to the lively intellectual life of the College through an active program of academic events, by working with colleagues at Dartmouth on a range of scholarly projects, and by offering fellowships. The Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College is a catalyst for public policy research, teaching and deliberation. Dedicated to providing an interdisciplinary perspective on policy-related topics, the Center fosters a commitment to the ideals of public service and informed public debate exemplified by Nelson A. Rockefeller, former governor of New York State and Vice President of the United States. The mission of the Tucker Foundation is to educate Dartmouth students to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community through service, character development, and spiritual exploration.
