Clinton advocates stem cell research at Dartmouth campaign stop

By Stuart A. Reid | June 15, 2007

Presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., called on her fellow senators to fund stem cell research and said that as president she would make lifting the ban on the research "a very high priority as soon as taking office," during a town hall"style rally in Alumni Hall in the Hopkins Center Friday afternoon. At the event, which was billed as a conversation about stem cell research, Clinton both condemned the Bush administration's insistence on forbidding research it deems unethical and portrayed the issue as one that transcends partisan politics.

This year's attendees will benefit from the introduction of continuing education activities, according to Corena Dungey from the Alumni Events office. The Office of Alumni Continuing Education organized a series of seminars and classes where alumni can learn from and interact with current Dartmouth professors. In one such seminar, French professor John Rassias discusses his internationally renowned language study method, and in another the nationally recognized Shakespeare professor Peter Saccio, who is retiring after this term, analyzes the intricacies of Shakespeare's writing. "They're definitely out of the ordinary," Dungey said.
