Dean's Scholars
This year President and Dean Geoffrey Shields has invited a diverse group of accomplished first-year students to attend seven dinner seminars with faculty and distinguished guests. These evenings provide a rare opportunity to explore critical issues of our day in an interactive setting with leading thinkers, such as Former Deputy Secretary of Education Madeline Kunin, Former Dean of Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies Gus Speth, and Director of Dartmouth’s Dickey Center for International Understanding Ken Yalowitz.
Professor Gus Speth and Vermont Law School's Dean's Scholars discuss some of the hottest issues facing the world today.
In addition, the dean’s scholars benefit from getting to spend intensive time with a small group of students from a wide range of perspectives and life experiences. This year’s scholars have lived in South Africa, British Columbia, East Germany, Virginia, Hungary, Panama, Romania, Georgia, Washington, Rwanda, near the Arctic Circle, and in other places around the globe. They have worked, for example, as teachers, researchers, urban planners, archaeologists, sustainability coordinators, and legislative interns.
