Trustees gather for weekend retreat

By Stephanie McFeeters | September 16, 2012

Members of the Board of Trustees gathered for their first meeting of the academic year Sept. 14-16 to discuss the College's strategic planning process and outline the year ahead, according to Director of Media Relations for the College Justin Anderson. The trustees met with Interim College President Carol Folt and other senior members of the administration this weekend to consider the future of strategic planning a process that has been ongoing for 18 months and that aims to improve the College's educational methods and student life policies, according to Anderson. The trustees did not address the College's presidential search as part of their retreat given that former College President Jim Yong Kim's replacement is being sought by the separate Presidential Search Committee, established in May and led by trustee Bill Helman '80. "The Board is concerned with making sure that Dartmouth is moving in the right direction," Anderson said. The trustees emphasized the importance of expanding the faculty and improving students' educational experience inside and outside the classroom, preparing students to learn continually even after graduation, Anderson said.
