DCF Student Vlog

Each day at Dartmouth, students embark on transformative journeys of growth, connection, and discovery—opportunities made possible by the generous support of our alumni donors. In this video, four students reflect on what they are most grateful for at Dartmouth. From finding belonging through programs like FYSEP and housing communities, to experiencing life-changing mindset shifts in the classroom, and unlocking opportunities through internships and mentorships in the alumni network—these stories highlight the profound impact of your generosity.

As a Dartmouth student, the summer offers plenty of unique opportunities from internships on and off campus, to unique classes, to hanging out with friends on campus for the iconic Sophomore Summer experience.
