Internship funding may see decline

By PAULINA KARPIS | February 28, 2010

Ben Gonin / The Dartmouth Staff Ben Gonin / The Dartmouth Staff Internship funding from the Rockefeller Center and the Tucker Foundation may be reduced in response to declines in available income, while the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding will make cuts in other areas in order to maintain internship funding levels at the Center, according to each organization's respective director. While the Rockefeller Center and Dickey Center both receive the majority of their funding from dedicated endowments, the Tucker Foundation is reliant primarily on donations to fund its operations, only receiving part of its funding from a dedicated endowment, according to the directors. The Rockefeller Center will likely scale back its internship funding due to observed and expected endowment declines, resulting in either a smaller number of funded internships offered or a decrease in funding for students who receive them, according to Rockefeller Center Director Andrew Samwick. Although the exact magnitude of the endowment's decline will remain unclear for several months, it will be "fairly significant," Samwick said. The decline in endowment funds will make Rockefeller Center funding more competitive, Samwick said.

Student panelists discuss disabilities

February 25, 2010

Six Dartmouth students personally affected by disabilities told their stories to an audience of students and faculty during a panel discussion held on Thursday, "Managing Disabilities and Health Issues at Dartmouth." The panelists urged community members to begin constructive dialogue about physical and mental disabilities to achieve wider understanding and combat the stigma that prevents students from seeking accommodations for their disabilities. Access By Leadership in Equity, a new student organization that works to raise awareness about students with disabilities, led the event, which was moderated by Student Body President Frances Vernon '10. Students feel insecure about seeking help from on-campus resources, panelists said, citing a nationwide and school-wide "culture of intensity" that discourages students from asking for help. Students should take advantage of the support services at Dartmouth, panelists said. "We are a smaller college and for that reason we have such a sense of community," Vernon said.
