Rev. Dr.  Stuart Calvin Lord was appointed as Virginia Rice Kelsey '61S Dean of the Tucker Foundation and Associate Provost of Dartmouth College in August 2000.
As Dean of the Tucker Foundation, Lord is responsible for overseeing programs that involve community service, religious life, social justice, civic responsibility, leadership development, and that foster collaboration between undergraduate and graduate students.
Since his arrival at Dartmouth, Lord has furthered opportunities for character development as well as heightened awareness of civic responsibility by matching Dartmouth's resources to the needs of local and global communities. He has initiated a number of programs including "What Matters to Me and Why?" an informal discussion between faculty and students; the Tucker Dialogues; and the Sophomore Summer of Service, which includes the annual the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program (SEAD). Lord also created the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life to further enhance Dartmouth's multi-faith opportunities, whose potential lies in the spiritual diversity of the Dartmouth community.
Lord has also led efforts to create two other, large-scale programs: The Cross Cultural Education and Service Program, a program that combines resources from Dartmouth's graduate schools to serve international communities, and the Civic Internship Program, which provides students with a first-hand understanding of the not-for-profit and philanthropy sector of higher education. Under Lord's leadership, student participation in community service at Dartmouth has risen from 55% to 75% in the last two years.
Lord previously served as an Associate Dean at DePauw University and as the Executive Director of the Hartman Center for Civic Education and Leadership. In 13 years at DePauw, Lord was instrumental in the establishment and growth of the Hartman Center for Civic Education and Leadership and in the creation of the innovative Bonner Scholars Program at DePauw. During his tenure, the percentage of students participating in community service increased from 25% in 1987 to 93% in 2000.
Lord sits on several educational and not-for-profit boards. He has recently served as a pacesetter for the local United Way campaign and is sought nationally as a keynote motivational speaker. He is the faculty advisor the Dartmouth Cross-Country and Track and Field teams.
Dr. Lord's research interests include: ethics and leadership; leadership practice and theory; AIDS education; multi-cultural education; and community research/service learning.
Lord was born in Westchester County, New York. He completed his undergraduate work at Texas Christian University before going on to receive his Masters of Divinity and Masters of Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary. Lord received his Doctor of Ministry from the United Theological Seminary with a specialization in multi-cultural education. He currently resides in Hanover, New Hampshire with wife, Adderly.
