James Wright, President

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 letter
