First Year Discussion Sessions

The 2023 First Year Discussion Sessions introduce students to the study and application of ethics.  Students will meet for dinner with scholars in a small, informal group setting. This first year program is a way to advance intellectual fun at Dartmouth. That means that students commit to attend all sessions and read or watch some prior materials before each one. The Institute plans to accept no more than 10 students. The program is open to all first year Dartmouth undergraduates from any academic background.
