A letter to the Dartmouth Community from President James
Wright
February 4, 2008
Dear Friends,
I am writing to let you know that I have informed the Board of Trustees of
my intention to step down as President of Dartmouth in June of 2009, following
commencement and reunions. By that time, I will have been at Dartmouth
for 40 years as both a faculty member and administrator – having served as Dean
of Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as Provost, and, since 1998, as the
16th President of the College. It has been an extraordinary
experience that I shall always cherish, and a true privilege about which I feel
a profound sense of humility. Read the full
