President Philip J. Hanlon '77 today announced that The Call to Lead campaign, which will conclude on June 30, is the first higher education campaign worldwide with more than $3.7 billion in gifts and 60 percent undergraduate alumni participation.

The Call to Lead has reaffirmed Dartmouth's distinctive foundational strengths, particularly its commitment to the life-changing power of a liberal arts education, the breadth and capacity of the institution's research enterprise, and its dedication to offering an academic experience that enables undergraduates to engage with faculty who are both leaders in their field and devoted teachers and mentors. The campaign has amplified Dartmouth's distinct model in U.S. higher education as a fusion of a renowned liberal arts college and a robust research university.

President Hanlon will complete his 10-year tenure after this weekend's Commencement. He will be succeeded by Sian Leah Beilock, currently president of Barnard College.

"The Call to Lead empowers the next generation at Dartmouth," says President-elect Beilock. "It is a remarkable accomplishment to inherit as I start as president and will be the foundation on which we take the institution forward with influence and impact." (read more)
