Courses partner with local organizations

By Alex Fredman | January 12, 2018

For the past seven years, environmental studies professor Terry Osborne has taught many of his classes with an emphasis on what he calls “community-based learning” — getting his students out of the classroom and working on projects for nonprofit organizations in the Upper Valley community to apply their knowledge in practice. “What I have learned from the past is that it absolutely amplifies and intensifies learning of the students,” Osborne said. When the Social Impact Practicum initiative kicked off in the winter of 2017, Osborne’s classes fit right in with the goals of the program.

Among the new law’s lesser-known provisions is a new tax that will directly affect Dartmouth and its long-term financial outlook.
