Tucker Program: Habitat for Humanity, SEAD
History with Tucker: "I volunteered with SEAD and started volunteering for Habitat for Humanity my sophomore year. I became a Habitat Chair junior year, and now this year I have been the student director."
What Tucker Means to Me: "Tucker is a huge resource. Without the Tucker Foundation acting as an organizational umbrella for so many service programs on campus, students would be lacking in so many important volunteer opportunities."
Over half of the Dartmouth College student body participates in service annually through the Tucker Foundation. Students help to further social justice in the local area through local service; in the nation through internships and service trips; and in the world through fellowships and cross cultural trips.
And students learn deeply about themselves in the process, answering through their work the question first posed for students by Dean Berthold of the Tucker Foundation: "Who am I, and who ought I become?" One-time service opportunities, local service projects, internships, fellowships, and leadership through the Tucker Foundation all help students to make a difference and to apply their learning to real world issues.
