Moving Dartmouth Forward

A Call for Change

On January 29, 2015, President Phil Hanlon '77 presented the final Moving Dartmouth Forward Plan. In his report, President Hanlon outlines a vision of a Dartmouth that lives up to its enormous potential, and he challenges every member of the Dartmouth community to help achieve that vision.
