Panel discusses veterans' concerns

By Colby Ye | October 28, 2012

Alumni, family and friends crowded into Oopik Auditorium on Saturday afternoon in the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center for a panel discussion titled "Hometown Heroes: Perspectives on the American Military Experience." The lecture included presentations by former College President James Wright and trustee Nathaniel Fick '99 and was moderated by Rockefeller Center Director Andrew Samwick. As the scale of America's military conflicts continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important to reflect on the people who fight in these wars and their role in American society, according to Wright. "We need to make certain that those who fight wars recognize that these are real human lives," he said.

MPH program celebrates 10 years

By Taylor Malmsheimer | October 24, 2012

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this fall, the Master's of Public Health program at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice focuses on training leaders who will analyze, organize and effect change in the public health and health care delivery sectors, according to Director Mark Splaine. While Dartmouth does not have a graduate school of public health, the master's of public health degree takes advantage of TDI's expertise in the public health care system and is well-aligned with the goals of TDI as an institution, Splaine said. "One of the areas TDI has focused on is understanding how to improve the health of a population, which is the essential element in thinking about public health," he said. The program, started in 2002, features two enrollment options a full-time, year-long program and a part-time option that lasts between two and three years.
