For Rachel Muir ’20, her path to Dartmouth has been anything but conventional. Because of her mother’s struggles with drug addiction during Muir’s childhood, which involved instances of abuse, poverty and malnutrition, she was placed in foster care when she was 13 and was adopted two and a half years later.
In her first year at Dartmouth, however, Muir was awarded a 2017 Newman Civic Fellowship by Campus Compact, a national coalition of over 1,000 colleges and universities committed to civic and community engagement.
