The student-led initiative aims to share their love of music and illustrate the opportunities available at Dartmouth College to local students from the Calumet Park area.
Says Cunningham, "This tour allows us to promote Dartmouth and share our message of faith, love and inspiration through music. It's also an opportunity to show people that Dartmouth, in addition to being one of the nation's foremost institutions of learning, has a diverse campus, represented by people of many racial and cultural backgrounds. Plus, we get to perform, interact with Chicagoland residents both in minority and majority populations, and participate in local community service efforts."
