Recognition for Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students

The online edition of Dartmouth Medicine was selected in August as an example of best practices in Web usage by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF's Public Information Officer Resource Center, a Web-based tool for collaboration between the agency and university public affairs initiatives, cited Dartmouth Medicine's Web site for "...video, photo galleries, artwork, interviews, and music; a powerful search engine; and deep content drawn from its print magazine that covers medicine and biomedical science." Dartmouth Medicine, a quarterly magazine for alumni and friends of Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, began producing multimedia "Web Extra" features that complement and enrich the print edition in spring 2006.

Bart Thurber, curator of European art at the Hood Museum of Art, has been awarded a Craig Hugh Smyth Curatorial Fellowship at Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Renaissance Studies in Florence, Italy. The fellowship, which is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation with additional support from the Office of the Provost at Dartmouth, is intended for scholars engaged in Italian Renaissance studies who hold full-time positions that permit little time for research. Thurber is spending the fall 2006 term in Florence conducting research on several paintings in the museum's Italian Renaissance collection. He will also develop a book-length study on art and architecture in Bologna during the Counter Reformation.
